New #GENIE article on #climate emotions at a global level, and how these correspond to support for ten climate intervention approaches. Now available in Risk Analysis (with @liviafritz.bsky.social, Elina Brutschin, Benjamin Sovacool) 🧵 Open access link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

F I G U R E 3 Emotions about climate change (hopeful, afraid, angry, and sad) across 30 countries, on a 1–5 scale (1 = not at all, 5 = extremely) withN = 30,284 participants (at least 1000 participants in each country); Numbers to the left reﬂect those answering “1” or “2,” in the middle “3,” and to the right“4” or “5.” Panel (a) shows the results for “hopeful”; Panel (b) for “afraid”; Panel (c) for ”angry”; and Panel (d) for “sad”.

I owe you all an apology. My previous post about current developments in the U.S. Department of Energy added the wrong kind of fuel to the fire. I stated that it was the end of CDR at DoE and that the CDR team at the DoE might be gone. I was wrong. 1/4 🧵

👋 Goodbye CDR in the U.S. Department of Energy 🇺🇸 No government department in the world has done more for the growth of the carbon removal industry than the U.S. DoE. Unfortunately, that seems to have come to an abrupt and tragic end. 1/6 🧵

⚠️ What is happening at the US DoE? ⚠️ 😡 Over the last few days, the US Department of Energy (DoE) has fallen victim to Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government of Efficiency (DOGE) and thousands of staff lost their jobs (as many as 12.5% of the DoE). 1/7 🧵

📊 Only 1.3% of CDR roles are in policy. That’s a problem. 🧐 Policy is central to scaling CDR, yet policy roles remain critically underrepresented. Let's take a look. 💼 Out of 2,865 jobs recorded by CDRjobs, only 38 have been in policy, just 1.3% and a stark contrast to what is needed. 1/4 🧵
