Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Direct air capture (DAC) continues to be small, slow, and very expensive. Not because it’s an early stage technology, but because it runs into fundamental thermodynamic challenges that money can’t solve. This is exactly why it’s not recommended by Project Drawdown. www.ft.com/content/fa4c...
