New and improved ! Essential geoengineering news and chat in less time but still with all the reviewer2 charm.

Thank you for your comments. We have shortened and edited the episode. It is packed with news and commentary, some of the articles are below, not all fit under the word count for the podcast description. Please continue with the feedback.

Cool new paper from Tapio Schneider. If SRM interacts with convection in unexpected ways then agreement in GeoMIP models just encourages overconfidence

I'm in good scholarly company here criticizing Shell's offsetting scheme “Worse than doing nothing”: Shell’s REDD offsets in Indonesia and Peru https://redd-monitor.org/2020/11/19/worse-than-doing-nothing-shells-redd-offsets-in-indonesia-and-peru/

 "Right now the entities best poised to do this are fossil fuel companies,” @hollyjeanbuck says, "Do we allow them to reconfigure themselves as carbon removal companies – or would that evade reparative and corrective justice?” https://vice.com/en/article/akdvy4/carbon-capture-storage-oil-companies-profit… via @vice

https://conserwater.com Using our AIs, we are launching the world's first international soil carbon market where corporations, governments and individuals can pay to offset their carbon dioxide emissions, and farmers can get paid to increase their soil carbon levels.
