📚 Back to school: a new word for your dictionary! At our Climate Interventions debate earlier this year, Robert Chris presented his idea of "Cocawki". He led to the question: if we are concerned about this risk, do the existing measures make it vanishingly small? If not, what can we do about it?

An alternative perspective in Frontiers this week: "Instead of focusing solely on the problems, climate scientists should also explore all potential solutions to reduce harm to humanity." www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci...

We're pleased to see geoengineering being discussed in mainstream media today in response to a new paper assessing some of the ideas. On our website, we've compiled some of our thoughts and the links you need to read the paper and surrounding news. www.climaterepair.cam.ac.uk/news/relativ...

"We owe it to future generations, to equip them with more knowledge about this", our director told Sky News this morning. "It may well be an option that they would like to consider because we haven't made the progress with emissions reduction." news.sky.com/story/mad-sc...

In case we haven't met yet... we're the Centre for Climate Repair ⛅ We're based at the University of Cambridge and can be found across departments. We summarise our research with the three Rs: reduce, remove, refreeze - three climate actions we think are needed (or at least worth investigating).

🎙️ LISTEN: Shaun Fitzgerald and Jacob Pantling speak on BBC Radio 4 about technologies that could help cool the planet. Listen live at 12:04 UK time, or catch up afterwards with the link below. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Why "remove" greenhouse gases at all? Prof John Taylor outlines why he thinks greenhouse gas removal is vital to meeting climate targets. 💭 "We have to remove a lot. We have put a lot of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We have a lot of work to do."

"Let’s be blunt. After 30 years of climate negotiations, we did not deliver the rapid fossil fuel decline needed to avert deep damage," says Hugh Hunt in a new article. "A generation ago it was reasonable to call geoengineering a dangerous distraction. Today, refusing to research it is reckless."

Hi, SEAO2-CDR! We had a great time in Leiden this week discussing the project and how we can work together to understand/progress ocean-based carbon dioxide removal!

Some highlights of UNOC3 for us: discussing the three Rs of climate action - reducing emissions (like new shipping solutions!), removing greenhouse gases (eg SEAO2-CDR's research), and refreezing the Arctic (with Real Ice). Great to join conversations on protecting our oceans - it's vital work.

The Centre for Climate Repair is hiring! We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced administrative assistant to join our small but busy team. We encourage applications from all sections of society and the deadline to apply is Sunday 6th July. Apply here: buff.ly/HHo8bua
