An unexpected advent surprise - my book is available to pre-order with @manchesterup.bsky.social For those interested in biofuels & the bioeconomy, vegetal geographies, climate politics, or relationships between energy & "human progress" more broadly! manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526192127/

Actual climate scientist here. 2.5C is on the optimistic end of the literature on current policy outcomes, which spans the range from 2.3C to 3C. I wrote a review of the literature on the subject earlier this year: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Today we're thrilled to share a new report with findings from across the Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrators programme. Over the last 4.5 years, the programme has made a step change in our understanding of the potential of 5 land-based GGR technologies to deliver genuine greenhouse gas removals.

Seeing calls "to keep 1.5°C within reach" at #COP30 and am unsure what to make of them. What would a failure to recognise reality mean? Does it mean we are also not recognising the need to adapt to a 1.5°C world? Recommended read by @glenpeters.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

As we approach the 30th United Nations Climate Change conference, @dialoguescc.bsky.social asked @glenpeters.bsky.social: is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible? journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

2. "Towards responsible innovation and societal engagement with carbon dioxide removal" draws on evidence from CO2RE research to examine how GGR can be better understood, communicated, appraised and governed in the UK. Check it out here: lnkd.in/eXtUY4s5

It's the final countdown to the UK GGR Event! We can't wait to welcome everyone to the @rigb.org next week. As a taster, we've just released 2 new policy briefings (🧵):

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

🚨 Reminder: Impact Day is just 2 weeks away! Join us for Day 2 of the UK GGR Event on 30 September to explore the impact of our research & what comes next for greenhouse gas removal in the UK. Read more & sign up here: co2re.org/events/the-u... #UKGGR2025

Remaking public engagement with climate change New article online first in @dialoguescc.bsky.social by Jason Chilvers journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Rising global temperatures increase the chance of crossing climate tipping points – abrupt, potentially irreparable shifts in our climate system. Only decarbonisation can sustainably lower the risk long-term, but our current trajectory makes several tipping points viable over the next century. (1/5)
