The current state of ‘carbon dioxide removal’ around the world

I posted earlier about carbon offsets being the most cost-effective climate action — despite their well-documented flaws. The New Climate just published an expanded version with the full analysis, which is a vote of confidence in the numbers.

Why it matters: I'm building TheCoin, which makes offsetting free. This argument is why it's the most important thing I can do for the climate.

Carbon offsets are terrible. They are still the most effective tool we have. If we truly want to tackle the climate crisis, we need to start treating them as such.

Aleya does everything she can to avoid emissions, and when she absolutely has no choice to use polluting technologies, she offsets it. We think that's a pretty great approach to being carbon neutral/negative - and so Christina and I are pretty pleased to announce that we're making a monthly donation to https://trees.org/ to do what we can to walk the walk besides just talking the talk.

We like trees.org because in addition to planting a variety of fruit trees, the organization works with their partners in farming communities to upskill in agroecology and sustainable methods for thoughtful land management. Our donation has an impact on creating a sustainable future, not just through planting trees, but by helping people actively build that future in their present.

By joining our Patreon, you are helping us contribute to this positive world-making project - we're starting small at first, as we want our donation to be sustainable for years to come, and we'll be revising it pretty much monthly based on our numbers. It's not much, but it's doing what we can with what we have.

Here is a thoroughly depressing article pre-print. It supports my growing unease with the idea that planting more trees, any old trees, is a one-stop shop for sequestering carbon and supporting biodiversity.

Turns out it’s neither, according to these models.

A review of 25 years of carbon offsets find they fail to cut emissions and #climatechange due to deep-seated systemic problems that incremental change will not solve. COP29 raised hopes of change, but this did not solve the problem. We must stop expecting carbon offsetting to work at scale.
