This chapter explores the potential of utilizing existing resources and scaling carbon removal efforts to address the climate crisis. It discusses the concept of abatement curve and highlights the challenges of measuring and safely removing carbon on a large scale.
What novel scientific breakthroughs will bring us back from the brink of total climate catastrophe? Mike Kelland of Planetary Technologies explains here!
What We Discuss with Mike Kelland:
The regressive consequences of climate change denial (and why the climate crisis isn't a hoax no matter what your nutty uncle said throughout the entirety of Thanksgiving dinner).
The role carbon plays in climate change.
Current and projected methods of removing carbon from the environment.
How Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) enables the ocean to safely capture excess atmospheric carbon while combating the effects of ocean acidification.
The role of companies in accelerating carbon removal.
