Short answer: no

Long answer: noooooooooo

Detailed explanation: No, because definitely not.

If they think it's unfeasible (we don't have the tech currently to do it on a large scale) they should at least explain their reasons

No. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. Why are fossil fuel companies so interested in this technology? They use the captured CO2 to extract additional oil from wells. It's just another distraction to avoid the elephant in the room and continue business as usual.

The answer is No

I'm a chemist working on the (electro)conversion of CO2 into economically valuable products. In my opinion, making this process profitable would be the only way to convince big companies to significantly invest in the process. I can tell you that we are far from making the process economically viable

Edit: to clarify, I'm not defending that we should prioritize the economy. I'm saying that that's what policy makers/ big companies prioritize, so it won't happen until the process is profitable, which is far from now. We thus rely on different approaches to mitigate climate change

A sensible comment

Bonus on doomering about millions dying in India during heat waves just a few years from now

We are going to have a heat wave combined with power failure that kills millions by the end of the decade.

You get a wet bulb temp weather system that settles over a city for a couple days, and the power system goes down.

The opening chapter of the novel "The Ministry for the Future" is a description of just this scenario, and it is hands down one of the most horrifying things I have ever read.

Yup that chapter was sickeningly realistic

The heat wave deaths are then followed by a massive pandemic as millions of corpses liquefy in the heat. The whole city would be a biohazard for a long time

I just started this book yesterday and this post made me do a double take. I had a moment of like, “wait…that's too real”

!bookworms JUST LIKE KSR THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE!

Cross stitch drama where the !biofoids at

Saw this on the sub for seething at arts and crafts that you don't like, when I opened it I was like "ah probably someone looking for something to be offended over" but the swastikas are a little much

< closest we have to foot in mouth marsey

This is the part I don't get. Like I would respect them so much more if they said it with their full chest, instead of dropping hints and then getting mad when people pick up on the obvious.

You would respect them for saying racist things loudly?

this has 74 upvotes, imagine if she was like "okay guys they are swastikas but they're the Hindu kind"

Those swastikas even face the Hitler way, not the Hindu direction YIKES. I notice she's not actually coming out against any of the alleged content, she's just fauxpologizing and hoping it's enough.

Jeets catching strays

Right? The word “kindly” is kind of indicator of what's about to come. Like when someone starts off by saying, “I'm not racists/homophobic/etc., but…” some racist or homophobic shit is about to follow lol

I think this is the one situation where it's appropriate to describe one's curiosity as being "peaked", I know I've never been more curious to meet someone in my entire life

Canada's population is going supernova. The country added 410,000 working age people in the first 4 months of 2024, a 47% increase over last year.
