Reviewer 2 does geoengineering

Xavier Dupla discusses heavy metal contamination of soil and water, following enhanced weathering soil treatment. How much is too much? And what can we have to to clean up toxic residues?

Good morning, Reviewer 2 listeners. This is Pete Irvine from Challenging Climate. I've been a little disappointed by the Reviewer 2 crew starting a turf war with us, so I've decided to finish it. Today, Jesse and I have paid their studios a little visit - and it's safe to say I don't think we'll be having much trouble from Reviewer 2 in future. Right now, Jesse has @geoengineering1 down in the basement. - showing him the error of his ways. I'm sure he'll learn very quickly. Now, we don't want trouble with other podcasts - but if trouble comes, we I can assure you that we're ready for it. While you're waiting for the dentist to put Andrew's teeth back in, I hope you enjoy the Challenging Climate episode on Great Barrier Reef MCB.

Reviewer 2 reluctantly agrees to dish out another drubbing to "radical" economist Ron Baiman. @geoengineering1 discusses Ron's new paper on balancing short-term cooling - both local and global - with long-term CDR. Also, check out Ron's popular episode from last year on the Green New Deal.

Hot off the press, Sara Nawaz, Terre Satterfield and Devin Todd discuss their brand new paper on DAC acceptance with @geoengineering1. This episode was prerecorded, during the paper's editorial process.

Jörg Schwinger presents work showing temperature overshoots can be recovered from, using CDR. @geoengineering1 finds lots to take issue with - model processes, intergenerational equity, and the risk of misinterpretation of superficially-reassuring studies. Paper: Emit now, mitigate later? Earth system reversibility under overshoots of different magnitudes and durations https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/13/1641/2022/

Marion Hourdequin explains her paper, which criticised Horton & Keith's justifications for SRM research. Considering various types of justice, she explains why tech-bro solutions often meet such fierce resistance. Climate Change, Climate Engineering, and the ‘Global Poor’: What Does Justice Require?

Britta Clark schools @geoengineering1 on "How to argue about solar geoengineering". This will only encourage him, and generally make him even more insufferable in future. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/japp.12643

Cameron Wood shows experimentally how phosphate fertilizers catalyse silicate weathering, but the lack of a techno-economic analysis (TEA) leaves @geoengineering1 with questions.
