IPCC

“Where I went from the somewhat concern range to the very, very concern range was that IPCC report and several other reports that came out, culminating in me eventually not being able to sleep, and my wife being like, what's going on?”

“All of the oil and gas that has moved around the world is about five billion tons. That is the minimum amount of CO₂ removal that the IPCC says we need.”

“Today if you look at IPCC's numbers, all greenhouse gases account for about three watts per square meter of warming. That's human activity. The sulfur aerosols we're already emitting from ship fuels, from diesel engines, from coal plants, low altitude, they ca…”

“But I think that the UNFCCC should be aligning closely to the IPCC report's definition of carbon dioxide removal. In that it is a solution that's part of the puzzle to reaching our net zero goals.”

“All of the scenarios modeled by the IPCC that keep climate change to two degrees or lower by the end of the century agree. In addition to decarbonizing, we're going to need CDR.”

“There will definitely be a moment for government demand. I think when you look at the IPCC numbers for five plus gigatons, five to 10 gigatons of carbon removal, you need public procurement to play an essential role of that.”
