2/25 Sadly this took a long time to get published … perhaps appropriate for a paper called ‘attractions of delay’ which explains climate procrastination as a predictable outcome of multiple reasons for prevarication. Fortunately the findings are still topical …
3/25 TLDR1: #GGR discourses exemplify how tech promises enable prevarication by being enrolled in scientific, cultural, economic & political processes; many stakeholders share concerns that #MitigationDeterrence is arising from exaggerated expectations of future GGR tech.
Just published, my new article on #mitigationdeterrence from #carbonremoval (in #ClimaticChange ) link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Most climate scientists are so concerned about the risks of climate change that they typically support 'all of the above' ... in other words, behaviour change, energy efficiency, decarbonization, low-carbon technology and carbon removal (not unreasonable on the face of it) 2/15
Our previous work in @NatureClimate rdcu.be/b3FEB shows that such responses are not simply additive, and while some may interact positively, galvanising more action, others - especially promises of future technological solutions - tend to undermine emissions cuts 3/15
