Hi! Ryan from the Climate team at Stripe. Yes, the field is super young. Regardless of previous attempts, the world is very likely going to need giagatons of carbon removal, and the necessary technologies won't magically scale without the support of early purchasers. We're taking a portfolio approach and will be expanding the number of projects we support over the coming years. Regarding "indulgences", this is no substitute for emissions reduction, and we aren't purchasing traditional offsets or suggesting this as a mechanism for carbon neutrality. More details on all this in our FAQs if you're curious! https://stripe.com/docs/climate/faqs
I'm not sure what this is? You might be thinking of solar radiation management or other "geoengineering" techniques to try to make the earth shiner and reflect more sunlight, making us cooler at a constant CO2 concentration. Theres a ton of interesting topics within that to write about, I mention it briefly as "things I didn't include"
(I wrote the post) This is good feedback that this is buried in the appendix -- I pulled that section up and made it inline with the flow of the post. Does that help?
