Friends and Comrades,
Please contact me if you're interested in participating in our G20 or G26 letter/petitions and policy advocacy in support of an "all options on the table" (Mitigation, CDR and Geoengineering) approach to addressing the climate crisis.

Abstract of paper (Review of Radical Political Economics, forthcoming) discussed in this podcast:
In Support of a Renewable Energy
and Materials Economy: A Global
Green New Deal That Includes
Arctic Sea Ice Triage and Carbon
Abstract
A Global Green New Deal (GGND)—that includes Arctic sea ice climate triage and carbon cycle climate restoration, and that, following Eisenberger (2020), would move us toward a renewable energy and materials economy (REME)—is necessary to turn our current civilization and species-threatening climate crises into an opportunity to stabilize our planet’s climate and advance to a new, more equitable and prosperous stage of human development. Imminent,
potentially catastrophic, global climate impacts of Arctic sea ice loss, the first global climate “tipping point,” are reviewed, and practical and efficient potential climate triage methods for avoiding this are summarized. Longer-term carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon capture, sequestration, and use (CCSU) methods, that would move us toward long-term carbon cycle climate restoration, are presented. A general reframing of climate policy and specific GGND
policy proposals—that include Arctic sea ice climate triage and carbon cycle climate restoration that would rapidly move us toward a REME and avoid increasingly catastrophic climate impacts— are proposed.
