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

This user is surely negative

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

https://old.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/1ct9dhj/fatal_heat_waves_are_testing_indias_ability_to/

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!

the germline and its consequences have been a disaster for the bilaterian race.

Not sure if right hole, but I think a complete neurodivergent got legit pics of a tasmanian tiger. But could be total bs 🤷🏽‍♀️

For the 90% Indians on this site:

16,000 USD = 13 lakh 33 thousand INR

Which is honestly surprisingly cheap for a humanoid robot if they can upgrade it to perform tasks around the house.

In another 5-10 years expect these and machines like these to replace the workers on the factory floor.

!ifrickinglovescience the doomers at /r/climatechange are discussing the prospects of mass American migration to reddit's favorite country, Canada

I see hordes of people flooded out of their homes in Florida traveling north in migrant caravans for safety, especially as they traverse the Deer River gap in the Adirondacks. Fox News will opine on how unfair it is that Canada isn't letting them in.

Leopards ate my face amerite?

I think it will depend on government responses. The US is trying to build walls and privatize all our social nets. We are cannibalizing the public good. If Project 2025 comes to fruition we will be dramatically dropping the quality of life for almost all citizens.

If Canada has better accommodations- affordable healthcare, available housing or land, and possibly a more stable government then yes I do expect there will be an Exodus.

If we get to the point where the Arctic sea is navigable then Canada will be prime to become an exporter of rare metals from deep sea mining too.

Without appropriate water management most of the western and middle United States will suffer the Dust Bowl again. Our entire corn belt is grown with aquifer water - that will become too low and too expensive to use at some point.

I'm not as familiar with the concerns of Canada, but because they have such large tracts of land not currently in use, they may have a strong economy while others flail.

If you're a trump supporter , please stay in the flooding.

The collapse will probably be so quick and global, that Canada won't be any better off. More than just temperature, it'll be massive famine that will be our demise, which Canada is already on the edge of w prairie crop yields on the decline already.

Peak apocalyptic doomerism

Dunno , but if the United States falls to the cycles of cancerous fascist self destruction hopefully Canada will already have a long standing NATO presence to aid in sorting out possible US climate refugees , rather than yet more self defeating behavior like militarily seizing Canadian territory.

It is quite possible Canada could end up in the position Ukraine currently finds itself in as fascist/authoritarian states are quite fond of inventing histories and rationalizations for invading their neighbors.

If the Canadian government was actually taking the likely course of predicted climate change along with the continued weakening of US representative government seriously , Canada would be working to re- constitute /revive it's Nuclear weapons program , incentive the large number of Canadian nuclear weapons scientist current working in the US to return that expertise home asap....

Surely Europe will defend Canada from evil Christofascist American aggression

Was this how Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law got her Tesla submerged in a pond and die? Lol

The only cool futuristic pieces of military tech that I know of are the AR glasses and the rail gun on the navy battleships that I hear was then taken off due to how much damage it did to the ships per shot.

We already got drone warfare

Also this terminator machine gun shit:

What else is out there that I do not know about? What are some cool military technologies in development and what are some other cool military technologies already out there?

This footage is much better than the petrol barrel explosion Nolan used in Oppenheimer, if he didn't want to use CGI why didn't he simply remaster the original footage?

Bonus footage from the Knotholt Grable test

This is the famous test that features in our marsey OMG!

The test took place in 1953. It was a nuclear projectile shot by the “Atomic Cannon” M65, the explosion yield was 15kt.

I have no clue which place this is. I don't even know if it is real but I am assuming that it's real.

The s*x robots should be ready by 2030.

Bet they cost an arm and a leg though.

Women chose the bear so man chose the s*x robot.

Is the Avro Vulcan the most beautiful bomber of the Cold War?

Bonus video: Vulcan bomber stuns beach-goers with a low fly by:

The Avro Vulcan first flew in 1956 and formed the front line of the British nuclear deterrent through much of the cold war. It saw (non-nuclear) combat against Argentina in the 1982 Falklands War. Nonetheless, the model was retired in 1984.

The aeroplane in the above videos is XH558 The Spirit of Great Britain, the last flyable Vulcan. She took to the air for the final time in 2015, and remains in a taxiable condition.

This is Sophia, a grandmother orca individual believed to be approximately 60 years old. Here, she rams a great white, breaking its ribs, then proceeds to drag it down and suffocate it.
