Reviewer 2 does geoengineering

Max Franks and Frank Venmans are interviewed by Robert Höglund on how to price temporary carbon storage. Matthias Kalkuhl, Max Franks, Friedemann Gruner, Kai Lessmann, Ottmar Edenhofer https://www.cesifo.org/node/73501 Frank Venmans and Ben Groom. Social value of offsets: https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/groom-vsce-121621-paper.pdf Frank et als paper on technologi...

Jörg Schwinger presents work showing temperature overshoots can be recovered from, using CDR. @geoengineering1 finds lots to take issue with - model processes, intergenerational equity, and the risk of misinterpretation of superficially-reassuring studies. Paper: Emit now, mitigate later? Earth system reversibility under overshoots of different magnitudes and durations https://esd.copernicus.org/a...

Marion Hourdequin explains her paper, which criticised Horton & Keith's justifications for SRM research. Considering various types of justice, she explains why tech-bro solutions often meet such fierce resistance. Climate Change, Climate Engineering, and the ‘Global Poor’: What Does Justice Require?

Britta Clark schools @geoengineering1 on "How to argue about solar geoengineering". This will only encourage him, and generally make him even more insufferable in future. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/japp.12643

Cameron Wood shows experimentally how phosphate fertilizers catalyse silicate weathering, but the lack of a techno-economic analysis (TEA) leaves @geoengineering1 with questions. Paper: Impacts of dissolved phosphorus and soil-mineral-fluid interactions on CO2 removal through enhanced weathering of wollastonite in soils https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883292722003158

How do you compare biochar to DAC, or afforestation to enhanced weathering? Plug all the details into Solene Chiquier's galaxy brain, that's how. She's like the Oracle of Delphi (but much less weird). The podcast's paper: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2022/ee/d2ee01021f A comparative analysis of the efficiency, timing, and permanence of CO 2 removal pathways.

Donn Viviani & Dan Galpern look at how individual petitioners could put an end to US firms' deployment of SRM. Background info provided by guests: Current petition and lawsuit available at cprclimate.org In my 2015 petition I explicitly asked for a section 4 rule to develop data, if EPA lacked the information to make a risk finding. It could serve as a template for a geoengineering information req...

Dr. Maria-Elena Vorrath shares disturbing stories of sexual harassment and borderline modern slavery in academia. This episode also concludes discussion of PYMICCS from pt 1.

Maria-Elena Vorrath discusses the Pymiccs project, combining enhanced weathering and biochar https://cdrterra.de/en/consortia/pymiccs

Max Franks explores the link between the price for a carbon tax and the optimal subsidy for CDR. How and why do they differ? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S009506962200122X

Luke Iseman and Andrew Song from "Make Sunsets" explain why they've launched SAI balloons and sold cooling credits to customers.

After pausing to school @geoengineering1 on the rock cycle in pt1, Ingrid Smet from Fieldcode finally gets chance to describe her cotton field trials of enhanced weathering in Greece. https://www.carbon-drawdown.de/blog/2022-11-17-carbon-negativeclimate-positive-cotton-preliminary-results-of-the-very-first-enhanced-weathering-field-experiment-in-greece-in-2021 useful links: Fieldcode Climate Posit...

Ingrid Smet brings @geoengineering1 up to speed on the chemical and geological processes behind enhanced weathering for carbon dioxide removal. Check pt2 for details of her experiment.

Robert Höglund argues that companies with low CO2 emissions should pay for high quality CDR. @geoengineering1 pushes back, on what amounts to a licence to pollute for dirty industries.

Do CDR models serve to entrench existing societal injustices, or challenge them? Simon Hollnaicher tries to explain the answer to @geoengineering1, who interrupts more often than a BBC Radio 4 news presenter. Paper: Hollnaicher, S. (2022).

Can one governance system rule all technologies? Gabriel Weil defends his universal framework in the face of an absolute onslaught from @geoengineering1.

This isn't really a Reviewer 2 episode, it's just some audio we had lying around. We decided to use it, as we have been too lazy to do a proper episode.

Robert was too lazy to to write a paper, but his blog got quite a lot of attention, so we let him on. Blog: What is the value of temporary carbon removal? https://roberthoglund.medium.com/is-there-value-in-temporary-carbon-removal-84aa69a7c428

Wilfried Rickels' paper proposes a central bank to subsidise CDR and control carbon permit prices. What could possibly go wrong? Paper: Removal Certificate Reserves to Manage Carbon Prices on the Path to Net-Zero Author links open overlay https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102858

We're back, after an extended period of laziness! Lauren schools us on modelling and emulating Volcanic Climate Impacts. Paper: Unknown Eruption Source Parameters Cause Large Uncertainty in Historical Volcanic Radiative Forcing Reconstructions Lauren R. Marshall et al https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JD033578

Could SRM trigger a catastrophe that kills billions? Aaron Tang @aawktang and Gideon Futerman @GFuterman treat this subject with the seriousness you'd expect from Reviewer 2, as they giggle their way through the episode like a couple of tipsy, potty-mouthed schoolgirls.

Julian Turecek from AspiraDAC and Rohan Gillespie from Southern Green Gas discuss modular DAC using MOFs with @geoengineering1 . Reviewer 2 (and its individual contributors) is not affiliated with or endorsing the capital raise discussed in this show. Seek professional advice before investing. Capital is at risk in most equity investments.

Shikha Bhasin from the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (ceew.in) explains how the Montreal protocol could be a key tool to regulate SRM. Paper: https://www.ceew.in/publications/solar-geoengineering-and-montreal-protocol
