I've asked a few Germans and they don't know what I'm talking about. I remember there's a German idiom that roughly translates as "roasted pigeons flying into one's mouth". Am I hallucinating?
At [C]Worthy, we're looking for a postdoc in oceanographic modeling to work on a NOAA-funded project. We will conduct alkalinity and tracer releases in San Francisco Bay and use observations and models to examine the efficacy and efficiency of ocean alkalinity enhancement as a form of carbon dioxide removal (#CDR).
Pay is $83,000–95,000/year with lots of benefits. Please distribute to your network.

🏆 The Ignoble Prize in Physics (it’s really Oceanography) goes to Bieito Fernández Castro and colleagues for “measuring the extent to which ocean-water mixing is affected by the sexual activity of anchovies.”

Carbon offsets can play a role in supporting the Paris Agreement, but only if they are reformed and used in a responsible way. Governments, companies, and civil society organizations need to work together to address the challenges outlined in this paper.

“I know how this information looks—when taken out of context, it seems bad,” Exxon CEO Darren Woods said in response to the Wall Street Journal’s inquiry about the documents that show Exxon executives strategized over how to diminish concerns about warming temperatures, and they sought to muddle scientific findings that might hurt its oil-and-gas business.
Lol. In what context does this look good?

If you're going for a hike, make sure you bring your phone with you. That way if you get lost, you can open up Twitter and someone's bound to walk up behind you and tell you how to tweet.
@5b4f22a8 That's an excellent question. At our research project scale, there won't be much HCl and that's Ebb's job to find a place for it. If that industry ever scaled, it's a legitimate question that they need to answer. My interest is in developing MRV to make sure that the method is safe and effective once alkalinity is added to the ocean.
@6188cd01 Yeah, I was looking for a place with availability although I just bought some from them and they're shipping in a few days instead of mid-October as indicated on the website. I was also trying to see if another vendor had it for less than $639 for 10g!
My #CDR friends on twitter got mad at me for pointing out that the four regional Direct Air Capture (#DAC) Hubs under the Inflation Reduction Act (#IRA) specify a minimum CO₂ removal capacity of 50,000 tonnes/year.
Hence, each DAC Hub is a #time #machine that takes us back only about 40 seconds a year!
It's important to point this out because some people think CDR is a replacement for #decarbonization and that can never be the case.
