@drrobbellamy.bsky.social is a Senior Lecturer in Climate and Society at University of Manchester. His research explores how society perceives and governs climate solutions, including CO₂ removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM).

The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal Edition 3 is out! This year's report brings together updated data, new analysis, and fresh insights on the evolving global role of Carbon Dioxide Removal in meeting climate goals. Download the report here: www.stateofcdr.org/report/3rd-e... 1/8

New paper: In the era of overshoot, are climate risk assessments fit for purpose? by me & Mandi Bissett. What is geoengineering for? Beyond emergency climate response, is it an approach that effectively stops deeper action on the climate crisis? Download 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Actual climate scientist here. 2.5C is on the optimistic end of the literature on current policy outcomes, which spans the range from 2.3C to 3C. I wrote a review of the literature on the subject earlier this year: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

An assessment of current policy scenarios over the 21st century and the reduced plausibility of high-emissions pathways - Zeke Hausfather, 2025

The literature on current policy scenarios has become increasingly robust in recent years, with a growing consensus that the central estimate of 21st century wa...

This is what happens when non-climate scientists write about the climate crisis without really understanding where we are or where we are headed Unjustified optimism If the world is just 2.5C hotter in 2100, I will eat my hat, or would if I wasn't 6ft under www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today we're thrilled to share a new report with findings from across the Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrators programme. Over the last 4.5 years, the programme has made a step change in our understanding of the potential of 5 land-based GGR technologies to deliver genuine greenhouse gas removals.

Seeing calls "to keep 1.5°C within reach" at #COP30 and am unsure what to make of them. What would a failure to recognise reality mean? Does it mean we are also not recognising the need to adapt to a 1.5°C world? Recommended read by @glenpeters.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible? - Glen P. Peters, 2024

It is always possible to find arguments to make 1.5°C forever possible, but they increasingly diverge from reality. It is time to admit that the world will cros...

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

Opinion | A Responsible Way to Cool the Planet

A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.
