Can Metal Organic Frameworks and Zeolites be used for Direct Air Capture? Spoiler: no. Paper link https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpcc.1c06924

Tara Righetti discusses her book chapter on enhanced oil recovery and how it can become part of a low carbon future. This chapter is at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72372-9_9

David Morrow shows how you can make up nonsense about Bruce Willis and still get it published in a journal. Next level mastery, for all those who struggle to get proper work published. Paper: From fAIrplay to climate wars: making climate change scenarios more dynamic, creative, and integrative Link: https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol26/iss4/art30/

Can lighting up tropical forests at night store carbon in a practical way? Gao discusses the possibility and its challenges with @geoengineering1 https://esd.copernicus.org/preprints/esd-2021-85/

Sara Vicca schools @geoengineering1 on biotic silicate weathering. He, meanwhile, screws up the audio production to previously unimagined levels of dire incompetence.

Amanda Borth from George Mason discusses whether geoengineering is covered effectively in the media. Reviewer 2 recalls his days of freelance writing, and paints a far less rosy picture of both the media and its cosy political relationship with academia.

Can your humble bathroom mirror be the basis of a terrestrial solar geoengineering scheme? Ye Tao looks at scaling this simple solution - with the surprise bonus of a huge reduction in solar energy costs, when compared to sulfur aerosols.

What are the social and political barriers to scaling CDR? Symons and @geoengineering1 discuss first-movers and a public goods framing. They then consider obstructions to progress: carbon accounting, climate justice, tech investment, and financial incentives.

Warmed by ocean currents and geothermal heat, Icelandic ice caps are in an unusual situation. How would they be affected by SRM? John Moore from Beijing Normal University is in discussion with @geoengineering1 (who is uncharacteristically well-behaved). Paper: Insensitivity of mass loss of Icelandic Vatnajökull ice cap to solar geoengineering https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2021-318/

The actual Reviewer 2 Jesse Reynolds becomes our Reviewer 2 and interviews Daniel Heyen on his coalition formation paper. "Solar geoengineering governance: a dynamic framework of farsighted coalition formation" https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfclm/kgab010
