Can direct air capture mature fast enough to contribute to net-zero pathways?
Decarbonisation, net-zero emissions, and sustainability have recently become popular buzzwords in the commercial world. More organisations than ever aspire to achieve net-zero emissions, recognising that increased environmental awareness has changed the way we make our purchasing decisions. The primary way to achieve these aspirations is by reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It can be achieved through the transformation of our energy systems. Conventional fossil fuel technologies are to be replaced with low-carbon alternatives, such as renewable and nuclear energy, as well as carbon capture, utilisation and storage. Significant GHG emission reductions can also be achieved by implementing energy efficiency and behavioural measures.

Millcreek Walk
The duo easy road walked the 5 miles in from snowbank, found site ninety nine early evening. Bivouac, simple, gear dropped-N- propped, day packs back to back, bedrolls out, pulled up close to the dakato fire they had dug. Dinner, MRE's pulled from each ruck. Water boiled over the smokeless fire poured first, into the pouches of the ever popular shake and squeeze lasagna, then splashed into the odd colored NASA engineered mix of sweetener, creamer, and "coffee". As they sporked, bite by bite, each red sauce drenched gluten morsel, the freinds chatted, buddy junk, occassionally sharing the chore of adding twigs and wrist sized chunks to the fire hole. They settled in water skins and extras zipped up with them, then watched each star pop alive first one by one, then by handful's to fill the nights deep blue dome with swirling moving pins of light, the spectacle kept them talking too late.

On the Sentience of Trees
I try to not think too much about the trees. I try to not think too much or too long because the possible implications of their possible sentience is too abstract and possible horrifying.

Rain, rain, come my way, do not wait another day. It’s been a very dry summer and fall until now. Finally, the rain has started to fall in the last few days, and I am very grateful for all the plants, that now finally they receive the water they needed to thrive.

Is It Only A Matter Of Time Until We're On A Dry Desolate Rock
2023 is promising to be no better than 2022. How will we know? It will require us to become more aware, not letting ourselves become so bogged down we miss what’s occurring in front of us, and we will need to play a part at times. That last one is going to be the hardest. That’s because a lot of our species struggle with change.

The Night Sky
No matter how far along you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always one fundamental moment that we all go back to. That is that very first moment that we went out where you could really see the cosmos well and you took in the night sky. For city dwellers, this is a revelation as profound as if we discovered aliens living among us. Most of us have no idea the vast panorama of lights that dot a clear night sky when there are no city lights to interfere with the view.
