[abstract]

This paper analyses how Big Tech and global consultancy firms are asserting control over carbon removal certification and governance through infrastructure solutions and technical standards. We argue that defining gaps in the underground constitutes a global takeover of material sovereignty, encompassing both knowledge and geological formations. We unearth Big Tech’s strategies of infra-solutionism to demonstrate, drawing on the work of inhuman geographer Kathryn Yusoff, how this takeover reinforces geological grammars and essentialises racialised and sexualised categories that disconnect us from the Earth. Drawing on queer poetry together with work of Marxist agronomist Amílcal Cabral we advocate for resistance to dominant geopower and form transnational solidarities against the cloud regime.

Frontier Climate: A Bugreport

On February 9th, 2024, TITiPI is releasing a collectivelly written Bug Report to Frontier Climate on their Github (Stripe's OpenAPI) space.

 

Frontier Climate is a consortium of Big Tech companies which was established to manage advanced market commitments (AMC) for carbon removal. We call for businesses, institutions, communities, science labs and consumers to de-invest their money, time, energy and trust from this enterprise.

Unsurprisingly, it was soon removed, but can still be accessed

[a newly edited and translated version will soon be places in circulation as well, stay attentive!]
