Science is crystal clear, the only way to meaningfully reduce emissions is a rapid, equitable, full & funded phase-out of ALL fossil fuels. In this essential #JustTransition, there's is NO space for dangerous distractions such as #CCS or #CarbonRemoval.

"The #Equatic process, broadly detailed in (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…), involves the application of an electric overpotential that splits H2O to form H+ & OH– ions, producing #acidity & #alkalinity, i.e., in addition to gaseous coproducts at the anode & cathode, respectively."

It’s crucial to distinguish between two different flows of finance:
- Investment, which generates economic returns. We need $3.5trn/yr on avg to 2050.
- Payments for activities that won’t occur fast enough w/out funding (e.g. early coal phaseout). Here we require $300bn/yr

To put this in perspective, low-carbon investment globally is currently around $1 trillion/year – this must triple by 2030 in order to reach the required $3.5 trillion/year.
