r/climatechange is not fond of carbon capturing :soysnooseethe: :soyjaktantrumfast:

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! :#soysnoo4: :#soysnoo4: :#soysnoo4:

The first chapter described by the redditors is by far the most entertaining part of the book. It's actually a total tease.

The book then turns into a total boor. Multiple characters exist only to explain KSRs blog posts.

Our white guilt euro-moid protagonist is the most pathetic thing in literary history

Some of KSRs blog posts are vaguely interesting, but nothing worth reading this book over.

Could you elaborate on that one? I love mean reviews :marseytroublemaker:

Well I was exaggerating a bit, but he's really quite a loser.

He's so traumatized by the evils of fossil fuels after surviving the initial chapter of the book, that he decides to become an eco-facist terrorist.

After failing at that and getting released from jail, he dedicates the rest of his life to helping refugees.

It's just dumb. They could have cut his character out of the book and nothing would of changed.

LMAO, I haven't re-evaluated a sci-fi author this fast since I saw James Morrow write a fever-dream book about how Trump turns America into a fascist hellscape (I wish!).
