🧵1/ Very grateful to @graceblakeley.substack.com for this guest blog on how promoters of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are trying to give Andy #Burnham a deceptively neat-looking get-out-of-jail-free card to drill Rosebank and Jackdaw. This thread explains its flawed carbon accounting

So sorry to hear this. Joe was a frequent source in my DC reporting days and had a knack for catchy comments. I remember how he summed up carbon capture (CCS). "CCS is the centerpiece of the Administration's climate strategy. Much like the centerpiece on a dining table, it is purely decorative."

It is with tremendous sadness and sense of loss that we regretfully share the news that @penncssm.bsky.social senior research fellow, and my close personal friend Joseph Romm has passed away unexpectedly. He will be sorely missed here. web.sas.upenn.edu/pcssm/news/r...
