A new paradigm from the Arctic

(From Moore 2025) "The prevailing “consequences-based paradigm” defines the role of climate scientists as informing the public about the negative effects of climate change, assuming this will mobilize political action to reduce emissions. Under this paradigm, research into strategies other than decarbonization is often seen as counterproductive, an…

Near-Cryogenic Air Capture of CO2 for $68 ton

Summary - Total annual removal of 103–142 megatonnes of CO₂ based on humankind’s liquified natural gas regasification capacity by 2050. the authors state, "Our analysis estimates the net energy cost at 1.7–3.3 gigajoules per tonne of CO2—far lower than conventional DAC, which requires more than 7 GJ/tonne—along with…
