Starting field trials of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide (CDR).

Joy.

Like all other CO₂ removal (CDR) techniques, significantly more research is needed over the next few decades to determine whether enhanced rock weathering is a viable method for CDR. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-025-00713-7

Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan University: “that’s the classic collaborationist dilemma, right? ... you collaborate with authoritarians who you know are in the wrong, in order to keep them from doing worse stuff” “Like I have a restaurant and if I collaborate with the Nazis and don’t let […]

When someone writes the definitive book about DOGE & Musk’s foray into politics, it absolutely has to be titled “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.”
