1/ Two weeks ago I highlighted the difference between carbon emission reduction and removal projects.
The idea of #CarbonReduction is to pay others to reduce emissions in your place. But your output remains in the system. One plus zero.

2/ #CarbonRemoval on the other hand scrubs carbon directly from the atmosphere. Plus one, minus one.

Recently, I was asked to give a seminar for @mhclg’s planners on the challenges faced by local authority planners delivering against the #climateemergency, because I work with lots of councils & I’m also Cabinet Member for Forward Planning at @CotswoldDC. So I know some stuff.
First up, I did the ‘we’re all doomed’ bit. You know, the rollercoaster graphs steeply going up and the even steeper graphs of how emissions need to come down.
Then I mentioned about how most plans are running for about another 10-15 years and they need re-writing immediately because most of them pay diddly-squat attention to the ‘what goes up must come down graphs’ from the ‘we’re all doomed’ bit.
