Zero.  💬 I spent the last few days watching most of the special addresses given at the 2026 World Economic Forum: Trump, Carney, Merz, von der Leyen, Zelenski, and Macron.  🌡️ These speeches give a fascinating insight into what truly matters to the political elite today. What stood out to me: in almost four hours of speaking time, not ONCE did any of them mention climate change or global warming. 📑 This stands in stark contrast with the WEF’s own 2026 Global Risks Report,

🙅 Stop pitching biochar. Nobody cares. Start understanding and pitching your business fundamentals. 👌 Pure gold here from  Alastair Collier  on the latest  Reversing Climate Change podcast  with  Ross Kenyon . ❗  No matter what type of CDR project you are trying to get funded: listen to this episode. It is just so, so good. 🙏 Alastair, thank you. You did the industry a big service by sharing your experiences. ✅ Ross, as always, great stuff. Regular listener here and encour

🧐 Yesterday, I shared how the energy transition looks unstoppable, and all the incredible data from  Nat Bullard  to prove it. At the same time, it is a hard fact that the world will take years, maybe decades to wean itself off fossil fuels. 💡 If we’re going to burn oil anyway in the short to medium term, the difference between high-leakage, high-intensity barrels and cleaner ones is real climate damage avoided. 🔴 The common approach in the climate bubble is to dismiss any

🌍 Literally - through its holistic approach to building CO2 infrastructure we need to get scale CDR and CCS to achieve net-zero.  🏗️ Check out our latest conversation with  Sophie Wenger , Senior Policy Advisor at the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment, on  CDR Policy Scoop , “How is Switzerland using CO₂ infrastructure to meet its climate targets?” 👀 Catch up to find out about the unsexy but crucial plumbing behind net zero:  ▶️ Youtube:  https://lnkd.in/dH-GeTKn 🎧

Finally!  📣  The Guardian , a mainstream media outlet historically skeptical on the topic of geoengineering, has published four op-eds in the last month, all calling for a drastic change in our approach to geoengineering. 🌍 I was glad to see this editorial decision. The more I learn about the topic, the more I believe the current stigma around it is not serving humanity well. 🔬 No one here is arguing we should deploy commercial scale geoengineering today. All these authors

📊  Nat Bullard  just released his annual decarbonisation deck. 200 carefully curated graphs that provide you with a full overview of how decarbonisation is progressing. It is the single most insightful deck I see each year. 🌟 I highly recommend checking out the full deck. What stood out to me: 🇨🇳 It is all about China: 40% more electricity than EU and US combined (16). Emissions flat to falling (22). Half of all energy investment globally is China (67). Added more battery

🧐 However, one could argue that the money is not being allocated efficiently. Here’s why: 🏭 Technological concentration: 61% of all investment to date went to DACCS. While BiCRS follows with just 15% (of which Biochar Carbon Removal accounts for 5%). These numbers stand in stark contrast with deliveries, where BiCRS accounts for >95% while DACCS <0.1%.  🌎 Geographical concentration: the U.S. and Switzerland account for 77% of all investment. The Global South for just 2%. A

✊ Last month, CDR’s very own  Noah McQueen  joined the Founding Advisory Council of  Out in Climate , which is building a climate movement that truly reflects the world we’re all working to protect. ⚠️ This is why representation matters. Climate change hits marginalised communities first and hardest, including LGBTQ+ people, but their voices are still missing from too many decision-making spaces. Better climate solutions start with who’s IN the room. 🤓 Diversity isn’t optio

😱 The Joe Rogan Show is the world’s most listened to podcast. On average, each episode reaches 10-20 million people.  🔬 While we are busy infighting within the climate bubble, arguing whether CCS or CDR is a scam or a much needed climate solution, the world outside is destroying the very foundation our work is built on: science. 🔨 Over the break, I spent hours listening to hugely popular podcasts way outside of my bubble. Over and over again, I encountered a diminishing i
