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.

Vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters in the UK show discrepant environmental impacts - Nature Food

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.

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.
