So…I wrote a thing. Now there’s a citation for the “CDR as Time Machine” analogy.

Carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative

Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative

Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.

So many non-solutions that one gets the impression that one of them will surely work. Shading the Earth from space is another incredibly bad idea, which would literally slow the removal of CO2 and decrease production of oxygen by land plants, seaweed and ocean plankton, not to mention diminishing food production.
