Jim Mann on Carbon Removals - and a new Co-Host

Brand new Wicked Problems podcast just dropped!

With 40 days until COP28, expect to be hearing a lot more about carbon removal. We spoke with one of the UK’s leading founders in the space - Jim Mann of UNDO , the UK pioneer in enhanced rock weathering. Jim tells Richard Delevan why we can’t just plant a trillion trees to draw down CO2, whether carbon removals creates a moral hazard that gives oil and gas a longer license to operate, and the challenges of scaling.

Jim’s Catalysts:

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth

The New Climate War by Michael E. Mann

Climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe
