It never really occurred to me until just now, but capturing carbon will be our next gold rush. Vast amounts of money are about to be thrown around.

Whether is direct carbon capture, huge vats of algae, or massive forests, governments are going to throw money at it all. It would be nice to be in a position to have some of it land in my pocket.

It's possible, but it might not happen.

Even governments that don't want to throw their own money at the problem will put carbon trading schemes in place so that polluters can buy carbon credits and help meet international obligations.

It's possible. Or they might just keep paying lip service to their treaty obligations and figure they'll all be retired in Switzerland by the time things get really bad.
