About

His article in the magazine Nature about how to think about the role of CDR is the most widly read writing on CDR by far, having been downloaded more than a hundred and three thousand times. He is often quoted in the media on CDR and climate change, and was recommended by the New York Times as a climate scientist to follow on social media.

Ho also created the Bamboo Bike Project, with John Mutter in 2006, which has spurred growth in the number of groups and companies creating bamboo bicycles around the world.
