If we’re serious about solving the climate crisis, we have to research promising climate solutions like ocean alkalinity enhancement.

Attitudes like “keep our sea chemical free” are uninformed and unhelpful.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

Love a company that encourages repairs and will send you parts to repair their products. The sticker is icing on the cake. 😍

It's "ocean", not "oceans". Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Check out this website, which shows all the offshore wind projects in the world, including those under construction or planned. It also shows individual turbines, how they're connected, and the transmission cables.

How did I miss this story about staff at a Stockholm restaurant wearing cotton aprons that capture CO₂ from the air? Climate change is solved!

If capitalism is so perfect, why do we have to give so many subsidies to corporations?

True: Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has failed to deliver on its promise.

Also true: CCS has captured orders of magnitude more CO₂ than CO₂ removal (CDR).

Climate denier: 2000 years is not enough to see a trend!

Also climate denier: There's been no warming for 5 years!

Anything that makes a city a worse place to drive makes it a better place to live… 👀

Oh hey everyone, ocean iron fertilization will reverse climate change. We’re all saved! Let’s keep burning fossil fuels and farming cows.

Amazon is paying 1PointFive for 250,000 metric tons of carbon removal over a decade. This is 0.035% of Amazon's annual CO₂ emissions, otherwise known as an accounting error.

How much do y’all think AirPods have cut into the earwax removal business?

As a climate scientist, I wish we were not in a #ClimateEmergency.

Rocks rock! 🪨

Trees 🌲 = good

Using trees to offset fossil fuel CO₂ emissions 🔥 = bad

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
