David RuffnerI came across the 2013 paper "The thermodynamics of direct air capture of carbon dioxide" by Klaus Lackner https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360544212006901. It describes the theoretical minimum energy needed to separate CO2 from the surrounding air. One interesting takeaway is that it is energetically less costly to "skim" CO2 from the air (capture a small fraction of the CO2 in the air and then moving on to more fresh air). This means that direct air capture is not necessarily much more energy intensive than scrubbing exhaust from smokestacks. In the scrubbing use case, you want to get all the CO2 before adding the exhaust to the atmosphere.

An analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows a statistically significant acceleration in global warming since 2015. The adjusted warming rate is around 0.35°C per decade, which is significantly higher than before. Natural influences such as El Niño and volcanoes have been factored out. Several global temperature data sets confirm the trend.

Significant acceleration of global warming since 2015
06.03.2026 - Global warming has accelerated since 2015, according to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After accounting for known natural influences on global temperature, the research team detected a statistically significant acceleration of the warming trend for the first time. Over the past ten years, the estimated warming rate has been around 0.35°C per decade, depending on the dataset, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade on average from 1970 to 2015. This recent rate is higher than in any previous decade since the beginning of instrumental records in 1880.

"doing only 'trees and carbon capture' to address climate change in an urban setting is the equivalent of buying a cat to lap up the water from a flood"

The report indicates a potential for soil carbon sequestration that is far lower than what commercial certificate sellers (like Klim) are claiming.
