🚨🆕STUDY🚨
"The study explored the wide range in #CDR deployment volumes across 1.5°C compatible & high overshoot pathways by evaluating the links btw CDR & conceptually linked scenario aspects, via focus on CDR in 2050 & scenario properties related to reaching #NetZero CO2."
🧵 Image
"#CDR volumes
were further evaluated in terms of their relative and absolute contribution to total mitigation up until reaching
net-zero CO2, showing considerable variation across scenarios with a median relative contribution of around 20%."
2/7 Image
"The volumes of #CDR in 2050 and 2100 and the cumulative amount throughout the 21st century were most strongly correlated to the degree to which CO2 emissions are reduced as a means of reaching net-zero CO2."
3/7 ImageImage
"The volume of #CDR in 2050
is also substantially correlated to the timing of #NetZero CO2."
4/7 Image
"The robustness of the analyzed relationships was evaluated by comparing different scenario filtering and data-cleaning approaches."
5/7 Image
"Beyond filtering and cleaning, additional factors that influence #CDR deployment in scenarios, such as discount rates, carbon price trajectories, and scenario design choices," were also discussed in this study.

🚨New Viewpoint published in Frontiers that responds to Siegert et al.’s paper.

While Siegert et al. warn against polar #geoengineering, Moore et al. argue for a compassionate harm-reduction paradigm, keeping geoengineering research open alongside decarbonization.

Details🧵1/12 Image
2/ Siegert et al. [] critically assessed polar geoengineering proposals, urging restraint.

Their case: interventions are risky, may not work, and could distract from the essential task which is deep decarbonization.frontiersin.org/journals/scien…
3/ Moore et al. [] reply that this “consequences-based paradigm” (raising alarms to spur action), has dominated climate science for 50 years.

Yet emissions remain high, tipping points loom, and Arctic ice is collapsing.frontiersin.org/journals/scien…

🚨New Nature Geoscience study shows that blooms of Phaeocystis antarctica (microalgae) in the Southern Ocean ~14,000 yrs ago massively drew down CO₂, stabilizing climate. Their decline today could have global consequences.
#CarbonSink #CarbonDrawdown

Details🧵1/9 Image
2/ Microalgae are pivotal in the Southern Ocean carbon cycle.

A new study from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) reveals that during the Antarctic Cold Reversal (14.7–12.7k yrs BP), algal blooms slowed the rise of atmospheric CO₂. Image
3/ At the end of the last ice age, the Antarctic Cold Reversal brought vast winter sea ice followed by strong spring melt.

These unique conditions fueled Phaeocystis antarctica blooms, exceptionally efficient at capturing and exporting carbon. Image

🚨New study finds #SolarGeoengineering methods have divergent hydrological outcomes in China.

Only equatorial Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (#SAI) could mitigate the “North-Drought, South-Flood” pattern, while MCB & CCT risk worsening it.

DETAILS🧵1/11 Image
2/ China’s hydroclimate is long shaped by the NDSF pattern: aridity in the north, flooding in the south.

Warming threatens to intensify this divide via glacier retreat and stronger monsoon variability.

How would climate interventions alter this? Image
3/ Zhang et al. tested three SRM strategies:

• SAI (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection)
• MCB (Marine Cloud Brightening)
• CCT (Cirrus Cloud Thinning)

All benchmarked against high-emissions (RCP8.5) & moderate mitigation (RCP4.5).

🚨Researchers at the KAIST and the @MIT have developed a new fiber-based material that can capture CO2 directly from the air using only small amounts of electricity, potentially lowering the barriers to large-scale deployment of direct air capture (#DAC) technology.

DETAILS🧵1/8 Image
2/ DAC systems, which remove CO2 directly from ambient air, have long been hindered by their high energy requirements.

With atm CO₂ concentrations at less than 400ppm, vast volumes of air must be processed, typically requiring large amounts of heat.
3/ The joint team, led by Professor Ko Dong-yeon of KAIST & Professor T. Alan Hatton of MIT, overcame this limitation by designing an electrically conductive fiber adsorbent (ethylenediamine EDA-Y zeolite/cellulose acetate (CA) fiber) that heats itself through Joule heating. Image

🚨In a new study published in @OneEarth_CP, researchers reveal that human land activities have stripped away roughly 24% of terrestrial carbon stocks (equivalent to 344 billion metric tons of C), underscoring an urgent need to reframe land-use & climate policy.

Details🧵1/10 Image
2/ Plants + soils store more carbon than the atmosphere + all fossil reserves combined.

But farming, grazing, and forest use have stripped away this natural shield, turning land from a carbon bank into a carbon source.
3/ Researchers call this loss the terrestrial carbon deficit - the gap between what ecosystems could hold (‘potential’) vs. what they actually hold (‘actual’).

The shortfall? 344 PgC (24% of natural stocks). Image
