“At the outset, we estimated that Long-term Carbon Dioxide Removal could cost $950 billion a year to capture an amount of carbon equivalent to 25% of the world’s 2024 emissions (9.5 gigatons), assuming $100 per captured ton of carbon”.

“Our findings show a causal association between sanctions & mortality, with the strongest effects for US sanctions. We estimate that sanctions were associated with an annual toll of 564,258 deaths, similar to the mortality associated with armed conflict.”.

I get frustrated by degrowth discourse in that most peoples analysis hinges on the name. This demonstrates a surface level analysis & a lack of intellect. If you wanna call it something else, do it, but develop a theory or analysis that incorporates the aforementioned.

Call it whatever you want but if your analysis does not incorporate how the ecological crisis is/will impact growth prospects, the need for reducing energy material use, & a convergence between the Global North & Global South, you're not gonna "solve" the thing you set out to fix.

It's a fools errand if you believe a Republican bill will be in beneficial for climate in either the short or long run. Absolute failure of journalism by Heatmap to not push back on any of this and produce a piece that quietly advocates for gutting NEPA.
