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.
