The world has made real progress in bending down the curve of future emissions.
While we remain far from on track to meet our climate goals, the positive steps we’ve made should reinforce that progress is possible and despair is counterproductive.

Big congrats to the scientists and founders on this list and Frontier for another great cohort.
Meet the latest round of companies who are joining Frontier’s portfolio!
Together, @stripe, @Shopify and @hm group are buying $7M of carbon removal.

I’m looking forward to a deep dive with Equatic on next week’s This is CDR:
🗓️📺🌊⚡️Looking fwd to next week's #ThisIsCDR Ep78 featuring @equatic_tech Principal Advisor Dr. Lorenzo Corsini in discussion with OpenAir's @wtbryce and (extra!) special guest co-host @ireneface (Carbon to Sea @AdditionalVent). Register via the link below and bring questions!

Throwback to the time I was shooting the sun and a plane flew perfectly through it, and a bunch of smart strangers figured out which flight it was and got me in touch with the pilot, who was thrilled 🥰
Big professional news: today we are launching Carbon to Sea, a $50M R&D effort to evaluate how the ocean can help us reverse climate change. carbontosea.org/50-million-c…
We're funding scientists all over the world to help figure out how this process can be accelerated to be relevant on a human timescale (we don't have thousands of years to wait!)

Thrilled to announce that we at @AdditionalVent has created & spun out a $50M+ multi-funder, non-profit scientific research effort called the Carbon to Sea Initiative to advance one of the most promising ocean carbon dioxide removal pathways. linkedin.com/posts/schrep_ac…

Is a little nuance on CDR too much to ask?
Yes, we need to reduce emissions 90%+.
Yes, we need gigaton-scale CDR to deal with residual emissions and overshoot.
Yes, we should spend 99% of our resources today on emissions reductions.
Its not that hard!

On Friday, the sun put on a dazzling show for us. My friend @TheVastReaches and I worked hard over the last 5 days to produce this incredibly detailed 140 megapixel image to illustrate how wonderfully dynamic and beautiful our star can be. Make sure you zoom in!
beautiful example of regenerative climate work

It is hard to overstate the ocean’s capacity for storing carbon: today it holds an astonishing 38,000 Gt in the deep ocean interior.
