This morning I had an excellent conversation with a lawyer with a maritime environmental non-governmental organization, Stephanie Hewson at the West Coast Environmental Law Association. She is preparing to testify to one of the highest legislative bodies in the country that they are based in, Canada’s Senate, regarding concerns about … [continued]

Regular readers might think Californians have a lock on poorly thought-through ideas for ‘enhancing’ oceanic carbon uptake, but apparently Italy decided to throw a log on this fire. A startup is promoting the idea of digging up long-sequestered carbon dioxide in the form of limestone to make quicklime to make … [continued]

Carbon capture is back on the hype cycle, years after it was last being pushed upon us as the only real solution to our climate change problem because . It’s a favorite of the fossil fuel industry for obvious reasons. Some of them are even saying the quiet part out loud, that it gives them the social license to not only continue to operate, but to actually increase extraction of coal, oil, and gas.

In recent months I’ve returned to the overlapping subjects of geoengineering and carbon capture, both of which I’d mostly satisfied myself about years ago. Both, however, are re-ascending the hype scale and at least for aspects of geoengineering, my curiosity was unsatisfied.
