NEW: Getting to net-zero will be much cheaper than thought for the UK – and unchecked global warming far more costly, says OBR Quick piece / thread with 4 key charts showing, yet again, why climate action is far less costly than inaction 🧵 www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/6

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

✨ Excited to share that the public comment period for FEMM is open until July 31! ✨ Help us make environmental impact assessment for mCDR projects as quantitative as carbon removal!

🚨 #CarbonUnbound hits Vancouver Jan 22 & 23 2026. Join 400+ CDR leaders in a climate-forward city. Waitlist OPEN! 👉 www.carbonunboundwestcoast.com #ClimateTech #CDR #Vancouver2026

I categorically disagree with claims that CO₂ removal (CDR) is a scam. The field is full of smart people dedicated to figuring out what, if anything, works, because we’ll need CDR in the future for legacy and residual emissions. Funding via market mechanisms isn’t ideal, but doesn’t make it a scam.

🌲 Did you know over 13 million metric tons of biogenic CO₂ are mineralized into carbonates each year in U.S. pulp mills — but then released back into the atmosphere? Our new study shows how we can capture that CO₂ instead — at low cost. 🧵 1/5

The UK/EU agreement today includes linking the UK and EU's carbon pricing systems (known as Emissions Trading Systems). A couple of observations... 1) If it wasn't already clear, this makes it obvious that the UK's commitment to net zero and its access to European markets are closely linked

In case anyone needs to reference the DOE's liftoff reports, which no longer appear on the official website: yardsale.energy/liftoff-repo... 🔌💡

Lets be a little careful here; while it seems to be the case that there have been real performance challenges, it is also not uncommon that other clean energy technologies (EVs, solar panels, etc.) take a year or two of operation to pay off their embodied emissions:

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

Great to see today's announcement of a JP Morgan debt facility, backed by The Schmidt Family Foundation, for Mati Carbon to advance the deployment of enhanced weathering with smallholder farmers in the Global South. High-leverage + super-catalytic philanthropy 👏👏👏 www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

DOE's super useful guides to commercializing key technologies are back! You can find the collection of "Pathways to Commercial Liftoff" reports here: yardsale.energy/liftoff-reports Plus check out my amazing graphic design skillz!

Some thoughts from me on the current US administration's disastrous plans for science and technology funding.. It is time for everyone to speak up and ask for the investments that we need! galenmckinley.github.io/commentary/C...

Honestly, could this is why the big oil and their political enablers are behaving so badly? Hold on tight people!

Let's be real: if Republicans pass the House budget bill as is, it will murder the US nuclear industry, ruin our chances of winning the AI race (by constraining power supply), concede the global auto sector to China, and vaporize about half a trillion dollars of US manufacturing investment...

The 7 billion tonne gap! Climate science & national emissions reporting use different definitions & methods to estimate anthropogenic land-based carbon removals. This is no small issue, but what can we do about it? www.nature.com/articles/s41... (sorry, shareable open link not yet published). 1/

What does the House Energy & Commerce Committee's draft reconciliation bill mean for IRA funding programs? We @sabincenter.bsky.social estimate that $10 billion in IRA funding (and perhaps much more) is at risk of rescission. Our latest blog has more info: blogs.law.columbia.edu/climatechang...

🌐 How will @sciencebasedtargets.org's revised Corporate Net‑Zero Standard shape the future of carbon removal and corporate climate action?

Effectively a full repeal of the largest climate bill in history. There’s no strategy for America’s future. We all get sicker and pay more in energy bills and suffer climate disasters, while some rich folks pay less in taxes. That’s it. Disgraceful.

The idea of transitioning from either temporary removals or cutting short-lived climate pollutants to permanent removal is promising, and far better than the practices that some have done in the past of conflating temporary with permanent. We need "like for like".

**Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program** -- $25,000 grants earmarked for early-career researchers whose NSF-funded research on STEM and education has just been terminated. www.spencer.org/grant_types/... hub.jhu.edu/2025/04/28/j... Thanks @lizneeley.bsky.social !

it's insane in particular for VCs because they get HUGE amounts of dealflow from NSF projects. My own startup had an initial grant from NSF that let us package our university work into something joe montana or the richest man in czechia can bet on. they're razing the seed corn warehouse for kicks

🔔BREAKING🔔 The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding. This is censorship disguised as oversight. Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3): www.nature.com/articles/d41...
