I write about the climate interventions we'll need to stabilize the planet.

Inevitable & Obvious.

Inevitable & Obvious is my Substack and podcast on the climate stabilization field. Stabilization is the third tool alongside mitigation+removal and adaptation. It covers ice sheet preservation, permafrost protection, coral reef shading, storm mitigation, cooling interventions like stratospheric aerosol injection and other large, open-system interventions. My background is in carbon removal and that still shows up in the writing, but most of what I'm working on now is field building for stabilization: the permission space, the philanthropic funding, the research programs, and the operational capacity that have to exist before any of this can be deployed responsibly.

Three to start with.

1. 01 The Climate Stabilization Framework Why climate stabilization needs to be a named field of its own, and what it will take to build it: funding, researchers, the permission space.
2. 02 Carbon Removal's Wrong Turn Why carbon removal markets are structurally incapable of scaling, and what we inherited from the offset market that trapped us there.
3. 03 How to Learn About Climate Cooling A grounded entry point for thinking seriously about cooling interventions like stratospheric aerosol injection, without the taboo getting in the way.

My background, in brief.
