I wasn't active here past few months, but recent migration of folks I like such as @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social got me back here. I hope this space remains sane and fun.

Worth a read for sure. We have a working group in CSSN.org focused on the net zero myth and other greenwashing. The only thing this piece misses for me is an accounting of the network of actors advancing net zero claims based on DAC and CCS, and how they sold everyone that myth. A bedtime story.
