Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 28 ratings
  • Biased and disingenuous

    A pro-geoengineering podcast dressed up as an objective and investigative show. The only decent guest was Lisa Levin who was largely ignored or misunderstood.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stefano Capello and Sara Groppelli on Limenet’s approach to limestone-based OAE
Q: What additional research do you think is needed to reach large scale utilization at this point?
We need scientific research on the non-equilibrated methods and environmental impact assessments specific to different regions.
Stefano Capello and Sara Groppelli on Limenet’s approach to limestone-based OAE
Q: How are you currently using the terms pre-dissolved, pre-equilibrated, or non-equilibrated?
Our process aims to decrease scientific uncertainty when injecting alkalinity into the ocean by ensuring it is pre-dissolved and not in solid forms.
Researchers Dr. Leila Kittu, Dr.Giulia Faucher, and Dr. Charly Moras discuss Ocean Alk-Align’s global research of OAE safety
Q: What is the environmental safety of ocean alkalinity enhancement based on your current research?
Our research indicates that equilibrated approaches to OAE may have limited impacts on marine organisms, but environmental conditions significantly influence outcomes.
