    🧵Among other places, this tweet has been cited in a @TEDTalks, an @theAGU presentation, and a @FullyChargedShw episode about CDR. Now there’s a legit way to cite it in @Nature. 1/2
    1️⃣ It's hard for people to visualize removing tons or billions of tons of CO₂. What if we talked about CO₂ removal (CDR) like a time machine (e.g., this machine will take us back 5 minutes*)? *ignoring the hysteresis in the relationship between CO₂ and climate change impacts.

    TBH, this seems worse than having the road blocked by climate activists for a few minutes.

    Ignore this at your own risk. Do not put your family in a small car. Yesterday, my wife was driving my son to school and an oncoming delivery truck crossed the center lane and hit her head on — the driver had a seizure was going 40 mph. I was on my way to work in a separate

    Twitter laid me off today. If you know of any open positions for project managers or senior software engineers, let me know. I was in charge of the feature that made sure every time you tweeted about climate change you were served a fossil fuel ad.

    We’re working to bring more lower carbon energy to the UK – like hydrogen. And, we’re keeping oil & gas flowing to help meet today’s energy needs. And, not or – that's our approach.
    Readers added context
    It is vague and misleading to write "bring more lower carbon energy to the UK - like hydrogen" as if it is a sustainable solution to make H2 from natural gas which releases also a lot of CO2.
