344: The Optimal Number of Travel Deaths Is Non-Zero: Carbon Removal Trade-Offs in Scale & Quality

from Reversing Climate Change · host Ross Kenyon

It's a jarring phrase. There's an even more jarring version of it in this episode. You've been warned.Economists are well-known for gnomic sentences that can sound cruel. For some, that's one of the job's many perks. But that doesn't mean that there isn't some truth in representing decisions as trade-offs.Today is a bonus monologue episode where I am going to unpack this phrase (and its nastier cousin) and explain what it has to teach the carbon removal industry as it grapples with the tension between scale and quality.This Episode's Sponsors⁠Offstream⁠⁠Arbonics⁠⁠Listen to the RCC episode with Lisett Luik from Arbonics⁠Resources⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber of Reversing Climate Change⁠⁠"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" Wikipedia page⁠Follow the Reversing Climate Change podcast on LinkedIn

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
