When those of us who work on CO₂ removal (CDR) meet, it’s apparent that no one wants to do this and no one thinks it’s easy.
It’s far easier and cheaper to stop emitting CO₂.
The fact that some of the smartest people I know decide to work on CDR signals our desperation.
So you followed a #vegan lifestyle for many years I guess?

If yes, when you talk about #climatechange as a problem, can you please promote #veganism as an important thing to do and in your bio? Thanks.
Modelled estimates of the environmental impact of dietary choices often fail to reflect true dietary practice. This study links a dietary dataset from 55,000 UK consumers with food-level data on GHG emissions, land use, water use, eutrophication and biodiversity to compare the environmental burden of different levels of meat consumption.
So you were so desperate to specialize in CO₂ removal but you don't bother to promote the most effective thing everyone can do to reduce emissions in the first place?
Can I say that it doesn't seem like an efficient strategy to me? Today you can spread solutions like this with an exponential speed on the Web.
@alexl I don’t specialize in CDR. I specialize in understanding the earth system and the carbon cycle, especially in the exchange of CO₂ between the atmosphere and the ocean.
Read my work before making uninformed statements.
Start here on what I think about CDR: https://rdcu.be/dbFbB
It was you literally saying in your post:
"When those of us who work on CO₂ removal (CDR)"
Your sloppy reaction suggests to me that you don't follow a vegan lifestyle and for sure you don't bother to promote it. But you still like to complain about CO₂ emissions. Maybe people need to know a plant-based diet is very effective to reduce those?
If climate scientists aren't consistent with their claims, some people might think you're scaremongering for more funding for your research.
What interests me are the sentient beings of other species and if this story of climate change can reduce those concentration camps that are farms, I am happy to call hypocrites those climate scientists who do not follow a plant-based diet.
@alexl @davidho I'm glad you two are talking about this face to face, without emitting co2 with devices and apps and servers and all that stuff.
Cmon Alex, this issue has many layers, it's not up to somebody to decide that one specific layer comes before all the others.
Being vegan is a very healthy habit for the planet, and promoting it is the right thing to do. But being this aggressive send people away from a thread, and that's not ideal.
Just out of curiosity, is calling people that are skeptical on AGW "deniers", making fun of them, portraying them as the most ignorant ones, hating them, threatening them and asking for laws that punish them not sending them away? Is that ideal instead?
I have tons of posts like that in my timeline right now and no replies like yours on being aggressive. They are waiting for you.
Read my other replies. In short: I don't care about climate change, I just want to take advantage of people worried about it to promote a plant-based diet.
In case it is still not clear: the few people following me don't care if I am a vegan, it's a personal choice.
The thousands people following a "climate scientist" that talks a lot about how important is to reduce emissions would be way more incline to adopt a plant-based diet.

> I don't care about climate change
opinion discarded
Why should I? The people claiming there is a #climatecrisis don't even bother to go #vegan and promote a #plantbased diet.
/You/ may not care about the #climatecrisis but its effects will destroy your health, finances and finally your life just as anybody else - regardless of your diet.
PS: Nominated your toot as one of the most stupid ones of the day.
People like you don't even bother to go vegan and promote a plant-based diet. Why should I worry if not even you are taking the "climate crisis" seriously?

All the carbon emissions you save over a lifetime of veganism will be farted out of a private jet by a billionaire running errands over a weekend.
All the carbon emissions you save over a lifetime of veganism will be erased by a mundane routine military jet engine test.
The most effective thing you can for the climate do is eradicate billionaires and abolish the military.

No, it's the opposite, and by many orders of magnitude
