why this #carboncapture stuff everywhere all of a sudden.

err. look, the reason why i don't want to hear it is very simple: IT. DOES. NOT. WORK.

industry has been trying to find a way to collect individual molecules of CO2 out of the air for 20 years now with 0 results. nothing. a rounding error.

there is a very well proven way to store carbon though, it is called sedimentary rock. of which the same companies are still extracting it at insane rates.

see the #SCAM?

#CarbonCapture auf dem Lande, mit Betonung auf Zweiterem: Bei Nachbar:inne:n Kaminholz klauen, und im eigenen Garten verbuddeln. ;-)

Das reduziert #HolzofenGate, treibt inoffiziell (immerhin eine kleine) CO2-Steuer ein und lockert den Gartenboden auf. Und Pilzzucht begünstigt es auch noch. Lecker! Aber ob das noch #NoDig ist? :thisisfine: #CCS

And five days later they have released an English version:

#climate #climatechange #carboncapture

To the surprise of no one a new investigation shows that carbon air capture company Climeworks is unable to offset even its own operations, let alone their clients.

And mind you that this is in Iceland, where these plants run on 100% renewable electricity.

‘#Starmer says #Blair's #ClimateCrisis views are in line with government policy
Sammy Wilson (DUP) says Starmer’s net zero policy “is not only bad, it is mad”. Even Tony Blair says so, he says.

Starmer says Blair said there should be more #CarbonCapture. The government agrees. He called for more use of #AI. That is happening too, he says. And Blair said domestic targets were needed too, he says.’
