This is supercool and very timely. I recently started a series of posts for Climate Pioneers oasis.substack.com and remove emissions resulting from publishing via soil carbon sequestration.
I really don't want to seem like an ornery bastard, BUT:
Although I realize that climate change, the despoiling of the arctic, carcinogenic chemicals etc. are horrible and must be held in check, I tire of what I call carbon absolutists who seem to think that all carbon is sin or deadly or beyond the pale. Didn't anyone ever hear of organic chemistry.
Carbon is integral to our world and to life itself:
a) All chemicals related to life contains carbon
b) carbon dioxide, who some people seem to mix up with carbon monoxide, is necessary to produce sugar
c) carbohydrates, fats and protein all contain carbon
d) if you murder all things that inhale oxygen, or all people, dogs, cows etc., you can reduce carbon in the air.
The preceding is very elementary. But sometimes people speak of carbon as if it were more than a problem but rather one of the seven deadly sins.
Now I will read your article and see what I can do to help.
Instead of dreaming about carbon removal technologies we should promoting the principles and ideas of degrowth. Carbon removal is not a viable solution but just a major form of greenwashing. Any responsible person should be able to understand this.
In my professional life, I work as an environmentalist and I use Substack to pursue my hobby of writing. So, this is very exciting to see both my worlds collide. (substack link- anwesha.substack.com for personal stories and fun ideas)
Also check out Climate Tech VC (https://climatetechvc.substack.com/). We write a weekly newsletter bringing perspective on the evolving world of climate tech by interviewing top investors & operators and covering recent venture deals, news, and jobs.
Thanks for the update. It looks like a good initiative.
It is a shame though that you did not mention our Surviving newsletter (https://surviving.substack.com/) which has a high level readership - business leaders and investors.
Much of our content is about climate change and the business and economic implications.
Can you please mention it. We think you could be more comprehensive about the substack sources you mention.
Way to go Substack. I am encouraged by your leadership position to help mitigate climate change. Since June, I've been writing the Substack publication, The Understory, that "inspires leaders to act on the courage of their convictions in defense of the living planet and those who inhabit it" https://theunderstory.substack.com/

That's great step towards carbon removal and I really appreciate it. https://apkcalm.com/ is also a great website in this regard.
Looks like the usual horseshit "progressive" virtue signaling to me. Vegan too?
