Researchers say efforts to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere aren't being scaled up fast enough and can't be relied on to meet crucial climate goals.

Study: Big gap in carbon removal effort key to climate goals
by: FRANK JORDANS, Associated Press
BERLIN (AP) — Researchers say efforts to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere aren't being scaled up fast enough and can't be relied on to meet crucial climate goals.
A report published Thursday by scientists in Europe and the United States found that new methods of CO2 removal currently account for only 0.1% of the 2 billion metric tons sucked from the atmosphere each year. That compares with roughly 37 billion tons of annual CO2 emissions.
Most current greenhouse gas removal is achieved by planting trees and managing forests and other natural carbon sinks, which themselves are under considerable threat.
New carbon removal technologies include so-called direct air capture, where CO2 is sucked from the atmosphere and stored underground. Another method known as biochar involves burning plant matter and then burying the carbon-heavy waste.
Both have been heavily criticized by environmentalists even as they attract considerable funding from governments and companies seeking solutions to the climate crisis. Developing countries argue that their contribution to global carbon removal — mostly in the form of forests and land management — are equally important and deserve greater recognition.
The study concludes that novel carbon removal needs to increase 30-fold by 2030 to achieve the emissions reductions required to keep global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) and ideally no more than 1.5 C (2.7 F) by the end of the century.
Achieving 'net zero' emissions by mid-century — a goal many countries are aiming for and experts say is necessary to meet the targets agreed in the 2015 Paris climate accord — would require an increase in carbon dioxide removal by a factor of 1,300 and few countries have realistic plans for doing so, the authors said.
"We are really lagging behind significantly when it comes to carbon removal," said study co-author Jan Minx of the Berlin-based Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change.
"If we want a robust strategy to achieve the Paris climate goals then we need to restrict dependence on carbon removal … through rapid and far-reaching emissions reductions," he said. "But at the same time the expansion and development of carbon removal methods needs to be boosted."
Oliver Geden of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, who also contributed to the report, said natural means of carbon removal, such as reforestation, are currently more cost-effective than artificial methods. But there are limits to how much land can be devoted to forests and rising global temperatures increase the risk that carbon stored that way could be released again, such as through wildfires.
He noted the rapid rise of solar and wind power plants as examples for how new technologies could have a measurable impact on efforts to curb climate change.
The authors of the study say they plan to regularly publish a regular ' State of Carbon Dioxide Removal.'

Working towards the world we want
New directions for data and design
· Dark patterns,Data,Design
It's been a busy few weeks at Paper Frogs.
In October, we presented and facilitated at an event with Open Data Manchester to attempt to demystify the behemoth that is the UK Government's Data: A new direction consultation, which launched in September. We encouraged organisations to publish their thinking and exploration as they developed their responses. Here's a great example from The Legal Education Foundation on the equality implications of the Government's proposals. By sharing ideas everyone gains a better understanding, and has an opportunity to collaborate but also to gather their own evidence base for personal responses.
In November we took part in one of the community sessions arranged by Open Data Manchester and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. At this, we contributed to the community generated response. It benefited greatly from insight from officials, businesses, community groups, practitioners and activists across the city.
Today, we submitted our own response from Paper Frogs, which drew on what we heard at the community events, but also on themes highlighted at yesterday's launch event of the World Wide Web Foundation's Tech Policy Design Lab project on dark patterns on the web. These manipulative design practices negatively impact consumers and society by removing choice or tricking people into doing things they wouldn't normally intend to do. Sobering stuff. And a lot of it is driven by the kind of data and mechanisms being talked about in the Government's data consultation.
It's always refreshing to find out that brilliant minds are coming together to tackle practices that cause harm and to develop more empowering, ethical approaches. People like Nnenna from the Web Foundation, Kat at Spotify and Finn from the Norwegian Consumer Agency, amongst others speaking at the launch event.
We're excited to see how the Policy Design Lab's work develops and hope to play our part as they gather evidence, develop actionable principles and practices, and work to change the rules and policies that shape our world.
More locally in Manchester, Paper Frogs is working with Noisy Cricket to challenge the ways tech and data reinforce inequalities through the Federation Programme and the Responsible Tech Collective, in partnership with the Co-op Foundation and Luminate.

Housing and Land Rights in Kenya
Manyasi
rénovation des quartiers de taudis
déguerpissement
Globally, the UN estimates that 1.6 billion people struggle to find adequate housing. Kenya's Constitution Article 43(1) (b), provides that 'every person has the right to accessible and adequate housing and reasonable standards of sanitation'. Kenyans suffer insecurity of tenure and are victims of frequent forceful evictions. This is a country that never follows up on building standards, leave alone rent controls. The current leadership is money-minded and has no interest in public housing. They drink wine while preaching water. Demolition of three social housings; Pangani, Jevanjee and Gorofani estates proves that they are good at lip-service.
In a free market economy, private developers build houses according to 'demand and supply' forces, which side-lines the impoverished. And when the government through Public-private partnership boast of availing "affordable housing" we are forced to ask, 'affordable' unto whom? It is our supercilious middle-class that get mortgages to buy these houses and the filthy-rich purchases more than needed units specifically as speculating investors, not for home-ownership. Big business with illicit money do control Kenya's building sector. Terrorism money has indeed inflated Nairobi's land price yonder Pretoria's land value.
Aidah Munano, Housing Principal Secretary said that the government's target for social and affordable housing is a million. These meant 200,000 housing units annual. But the stark reality, she admits, they could do 20,000 per year. But even that humble goal as so far has proven to be an uphill task unto the government. She says affordable housing will go for KShs 3 million. In a country of 30 billionaires and 45 million paupers, we wonder who will afford these houses. Sadly, the politically-correct are the very private-partners in these dealings with the public works.
But it's not just about housing construction, the element of densification of the working class in gentrified neighbourhoods of the poor. Vertical climbing slums, in the name of high-rise flats, are taking shape in formerly vast horizontal semi-detached and or detached Eastlands colonial Kenya social housing. Displaced, the poor became a bigger problem to the wider society, evils associated with poverty increase threefold; crime, broken homes, substance abuse and even widespread diseases as is with the present-day SARS COV 2 – COVID 19. Kenya's central government appetite for land has seen it taking over the leadership of Nairobi, and even suggesting to Kenyans, that the capital city being a seat of the UN's Environment and Habitat ought to be under 'special' national jurisdiction. And for this, if not due to CoViD 19, would have been pushed to fruition in the forth-coming 'Building Bridges Initiative' referendum.
Land-lord friendly loopholes have gone past the building and construction sector where benevolence is begged. During this CoViD 19 pandemic, the W.H.O. and World Bank funding to government economic stimulus never cushioned the housing sector. The big hotel sector, that the big-fish own and other 'important' sectors found funding. Neither the county governments nor private landlords minded their tenants or renters inability to comfortably pay their monthly rents. Only with rent-control laws, can we go back to the sanity that housing is a basic need and not a commercial commodity.
Winning housing reforms in Kenya will only start with land reforms. Such land reforms can only be achievable when Bretton Wood institution becomes truly pro-poor and countries such as Netherlands stop being a tax haven for mercenary corporates. The fight is painstakingly taking long battling from the base. The top – Developed Countries, should decide that 'enough is enough'. Bilaterally treaties should address Double Taxation Agreements (DTA) and how to tax capital gains. Financial secrecy and repatriation of profits, profit-shifting and tax avoidance can only be addressed by raising the red flag by the very colonial masters who knew well the riches they were forced to leave behind by cries of independence.
In as much as we have bad company from abroad, rotten eggs do too exist amongst us. These collaborate in hiding their lot 'off-shore' and in Swiss bank accounts. The Court in Hague if not vague, then operates in selective justice. We wish to see its hidden talons frisk not only the perpetrators but also their accomplice wherever they are. Mineral-rich countries should be spared from over-exploitation of their natural resources. Such selfish extraction is a cause of problematic climate change.
If indeed our world is a global village, the Occident, the Orient and Africans, must come to their senses, noting we have enough for everyone in this world, but only if we partake from the same table. Equity, more than equality, will enable humanity to live in everlasting peace and prosperity. To achieve this, we can emulate the social housing model of Austria and that of Community Land Trust (CLT). Big banks' bucks and pro-corporates multi-national establishments ought to capitulate, as they're proving to be a broken private market.

Hammer and Nails is the story of a little girl and her dad. When Darcy's play date gets cancelled, she is royally bummed, until Daddy swoops in and suggests a "Darcy-Daddy" day. What ensues can only be described as some really good… life living.
I wrote Hammer and Nails when my daughter was five and my son was three. I'm a teacher, and my amazing wife is a nurse who works long, difficult hours, so in the summer I would (and still do) hunker down and hang with the kids. I wrote this story as I was actually living it about five years ago. I adore it for many reasons, but mainly because it's a snapshot of a tremendously fun part of my family's story.
While it's a story about a kid and for kids, it's just as much a story about a parent and for parents. It's a heartwarming and hilariously illustrated story about making time for those you love, and the joy to be found in stepping out of your comfort zone to try new things with the people most precious to you. The selfie is just me. Holding the book. Being photobombed by those most precious to me.
My bookshelf is a hodgepodge of things. I'm a fifth grade teacher, so there's a bit of middle grade there. I enjoy Louis Sachar, Roald Dahl, Gary Paulsen, and recently, R.J. Palacio's Wonder. I'll pick up the guitar and rock some Pete the Cat, too. When I'm done with that, I'll pick up some John Eldredge or Dallas Willard. I guess my bookshelf, without being too dramatic, says that I enjoy books that encourage people (my students and myself) to laugh and to think deeply. And that means most anything is fair game.
Publisher's Synopsis: Darcy has plans. She and her friend are going to play dress up, do each other's hair, and polish their nails. Daddy has plans, too. He's going to read the paper, mow the lawn, and fix the fence. When Darcy's friend cancels and she's sure her day is ruined, Daddy suggests that they tackle their to-do lists together with a Darcy-Daddy Day. Daddy dons a tutu, and Darcy gives him a fancy hair do. They groom the lawn with Her Majesty's Mowing Service and face off in a Daddy-directed sock battle. But will Darcy want to hammer? Will Daddy do nails? Stepping outside their comfort zones, Darcy and Daddy opt to be open-minded and even a bit daring. As Daddy says, "Sometimes things you've never done end up being fun!" With a gung-ho attitude, Darcy masters the hammer, and Daddy goes for it with the nails.
Josh Bledsoe has been an elementary school teacher for 11 years. He has a master's degree in education, and lives outside Nashville, TN. He has, at one time or another, played hair and nail salon, designed epic obstacle courses, worn a tutu, and made sandwiches out of waffles. When free time finds him, he enjoys running, fishing, and camping. His kid-friendly dialogue in Hammer and Nails, coupled with the enchanting and emotive artwork by Jessica Warrick, creates a lovely daddy/daughter book with a little silliness and a lot of warmth.

This morning found me out on the road for a quick run earlier than usual. Had to get back home quickly as well. UPS is wanting a signature on a scheduled shipment, and I'm not used to having to hang around all day waiting for a brown truck.
I expect I'll be getting more involved in parcel shipping than I would like. My first experiment in ordering furniture online has not worked to my satisfaction. It is also a sale item and not subject to being returned. However, unless the catalogue stated that all large surfaces would be rippled and unsightly, this return is going to go. Tickets could be sold for watching my attempt to get the thing back into its box with all the styrofoam blocks and braces. We'll see.

I received a lovely invitation to visit Core Cider House in the Perth Hills and accepted the invitation with much excitement. The email provided lots of information on the venue and I had a bit of a google too, it looked amazing.
I organised for Ms. D, Ms. G and I to have lunch at 2pm on a hot Sunday afternoon. We were excited just pulling into the venue because the first thing you see is the beautiful orchard and it stretches far and wide. We could hear the music as we walked in and I love nothing more than food, drinks and live music with friends.
We made our way in past an area that serves pizza for casual dining on the grass and up to the reception and main bar area. We were a little early but our table was ready, the place was packed. Booking is necessary!
We took our seats and got lost in the array of menu choices. As it was a warm day, we ordered a tasting tray each ($18)(not included in our invite). The tasting tray comes in very nice little glasses and accompanied by tasting notes so you know a little about each cider. We were advised to start from left to right, simple! My favourites were probably the Coregasm and the Pith'd, sparkling lemon cider is right down my street and so refreshing!
As us bloggers do, we each wanted to try different things in the menu so I went for the Sirloin Fillet ($35) as it's one of my favourite things to order, Ms. G went with a trusty Chicken Scallopini ($28) and Ms. D was excited to order the Seared Duck Breast ($32) We decided that one potion of Sweet Potato would be enough to share between the three of us.
We were asked if we wanted to order dessert but on seeing the portion size, we thought we might wait to have dinner and see how we feel. Let's be honest though, there is always room for dessert!
Our food arrived together, yes, our portions were huge also.
I chose the steak because I love a good steak, I asked for it medium-rare and that's what I got. I was a little more on the rare side however I am much happier with that than closer to medium. The steak was tender and juicy and the flavours were delicious. It was accompanied by lightly seasoned asparagus and baby potatoes. The herbs added to the baby potatoes were a nice touch and didn't unbalance the dish. I didn't add too much to each bite as I didn't want to take away from the juicy steak.
Ms. D's choice of duck was a winning choice and she loved the accompaniment of the fresh pickled red cabbage and the sour apple reduction. The sour apple reduction is not something I had ever tasted before but it balanced the dish and reminded us that we were sat in a beautiful orchard and the freshest of ingredients were used in our dishes.
Ms. G had the chicken which was quite dry. It was saved by the sweet tomato sugo delicately smeared over the top of the chicken. Both Ms. G and Ms. D loved the freshness of the salad served with the chicken which had pieces of apple, nuts and soft cheese through the leaves. We all agreed that this dish had so many delicious elements that a little less sauce/dressing would have been perfect so not to mask the beautiful flavours of the dish.
We also had the Sweet Potato Chips which were quite a large portion and enough to share between us. The chips were chunky and delicious, they had a slight crisp and were not oily in anyway. We also enjoyed the dipping sauce and as our mains were cleared, we kept the chips and dip to finish off the last few.
By this stage we were feeling rather full until we saw a tart slice being delivered to a table. Of course we had room for dessert! On looking at the menu, I was keen to try the Sliced Apple Pie ($15) however on seeing the portion size, I knew there was no way we would finish it and not have to be carried out of the restaurant due to not being able to move. We decided to order two desserts to share, Chilli Chocolate Marquis ($12) and the Wild Lime Ginger Tart ($12).
Both desserts arrived together, of course we tried the chocolate one first. I wasn't sure if I would like the chilli chocolate but wow it was delicious! It was chocolate all the way until there was a subtle kick of chilli in the back of your throat. As you may know, Ms. G is a chilli queen and needless to say she really enjoyed it, we all did. The texture was similar to a mousse but extremely light and when accompanied by the drunken berries, particularly the raspberries, it added a little sweetness to the marquis. Beautiful dessert!
The second dessert was the cute slice of tart. Ms. D loves her ginger and was keen to try this one while I waited to find out how 'gingery' it was. Much to my surprise, the ginger was quite subtle and for someone who isn't overly keen on ginger, I really enjoyed it. The light crumbly base was also delicious and the drizzled vincotto tasted like honey and added a little sweetness to the dessert.
Spending the afternoon at Core Cider House certainly feels like you are in Margaret River without making the trek back to Perth. Before we left, we went out to the back of the venue where visitors can purchase fresh fruit and preserves. We sampled some of the preserves on our dishes and decided to buy one to take home.
Core Cider House hold functions and have a special Valentine's Day Dinner on the 14th of February as well as an evening of music on the 24th of February 2017 with Flash Nat & the Action men. For more information on the event, click here. I was excited to hear that there is a cellar door under construction, which gives us another reason to visit again soon.
On a final note, a big thank you to Core Cider House for having us and we look forward to returning soon.
The food looks delicious (especially the tart) and I love the cheeky cider names! Looks like a fun time!
