All the excitement of recording the previous two episodes in Iceland left us with one puzzling question. How would we practice what we preach and offset the carbon we emitted by flying there? We set our researcher Henry on the case, and got in touch with the show's sponsors, Patch, in order to work out the best way forward. Thanks to our guests: He…

At first, the idea of harvesting, harnessing, even burning our beloved biomass may seem counterintuitive, at least from a carbon removal perspective. Why not just leave biomass be? Well, as we've heard so far this season, the carbon cycle is out of kilter. Even with our best efforts of restoration and enhancement, relying on forests and soils alone…

"We can sequester with regenerative agriculture between 5% of all emissions and 100% of all emissions. That's a big difference" Whenever we used to find ourselves around farmland, we never paid much attention to the soil beneath our feet. Making this episode will make us think twice next time... Why? Because, when you dig a little deeper, soil is f…

"The jingle which everyone quotes is the right tree in the right place" (Harriet Rix) At first, the clear need for carbon removal begs the question - isn't that what trees do? And they do - amongst a whole host of other benefits that they bring to our lives (tree-huggers exist for good reason). Yet human activity certainly does not always display o…

The facts are clear - the planet is heating up because of emissions humans are putting into the atmosphere. Even if we are able to cut out all our carbon emissions as fast as possible, we would still need to remove carbon we've already put in the atmosphere to hit global temperature targets.
