It's hard for people to visualize removing tons or billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂). I propose we talk about CO₂ removal () like a time machine (e.g., this machine will take us back 5 minutes). For example:

Q: How far back in time does planting 100 million trees take us?

A: If one mature tree takes up an average of 25 kg of CO₂ per year, then 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back 33 minutes and 6 seconds in a year. It's not a lot.

Anthony Fauci is a national hero. It says a lot about where the US is as a country that President Biden had to issue him a preemptive pardon to protect him from the convicted felon Donald Trump.

I met with an ocean solutions startup who wanted my help. They told me they had a "proprietary state-of-the-art ocean intelligence platform." When I pressed them on it, it turned out to be a spreadsheet. 🥲

“It’s really too bad, you know, we’re shooting missiles and rockets and whatnot at each other on this tiny little place we call home. It’s the only home in the universe for us humans. It’s too bad we don’t treat it a little better.” — Bill Anders
