Betting on large scale technological carbon removal is like waiting for carbon-sucking aliens to show up. Both are extremely necessary in theory but unlikely to be available in the foreseeable future.

The @esabcc.bsky.social report's emphasis on scaling carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies is akin to hoping for carbon-sucking aliens to visit Earth – a convenient scenario, but not a reliable strategy.

US-Israeli start-up Stardust Solutions endorsed a report presenting its plans to develop & commercialize a highly controversial & risky solar geoengineering technology 😱. This would be a likely violation of the de facto moratorium on geoengineering. 👉 www.ciel.org/news/us-isra...

When it comes to #ClimateChange, the fates of low-lying countries is very much intertwined with those of the rest of the world. If we can't respond to their call & meet their needs, then we are effectively saying that all is lost for the rest of the world. www.dw.com/en/a-pacific...

Unequivocal condemnation of Trump's unlawful proposal for a US “take over” Gaza: the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is a clear violation of international law, amounting to a crime against humanity & war crime @cielorg.bsky.social www.ciel.org/news/condemn...

Countries must reject Trump’s unlawful plan to “take over” #Gaza. Forcible displacement of Palestinians violates international law and amounts to crimes against humanity. No leader is above the law. We must resist early signs of imperial darkness.
