Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

There are a few reports out that group them by type.
National academy of science and engineering has one on ocean carbon: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/26278/a-research-strategy-for-ocean-based-carbon-dioxide-removal-and-sequestration
There's also a state of carbon report from last year: https://www.stateofcdr.org/
I'd suggest Carbon Brief as a good source covering some of them: carbonbrief.org
Finally the EU had a call out last year through the Horizon Europe funding program for research groups to create a framework for carbon removal. I believe they funded 2 or 3 different projects, one of which was focused on ocean-based projects. I can't find a link now, but they were €7mil+, 3-5 year projects, designed to comprehensively assess and compare all cdr options. They should have all launched this summer.
Thanks! There’s so much activity in this space and it’s hard to track it all.
