Sammie Buzzard @treacherousbuzz.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Our paper is out, providing alternative viewpoints to some polar geoengineering ideas covered in the media recently. Lots still to talk about but let's focus on decarbonising instead of drilling Antarctica for now? 🇦🇶 Thanks @newscientist.com @mjflepage.bsky.social for covering this important issue! 0166
