I'm surprised people still bring up carbon capture tech as a solution.

It happens a lot around here lately but it's just such wishful thinking IMO.

If you have that much carbon-neutral energy, carbon-neutral materials, space, maintenance to really make a dent... And all those things don't displace green resources that could have been used for other necessary things instead... You wouldn't have had any problem to begin with.

See how much shit we get here when we get a few % less natural gas here in Europe. We're in a huge crisis over just that. That's a promille of what we'd need to capture enough carbon for 0.01 degree cooling.

It's just some distraction from the hard things that are needed to solve it. And a big paycheck for the industry behind it obviously.

It's simpler to think "technology will save us" than "we as a species screwed up and have already destroyed 2/3 of wild life (not talking about the consequences of global warming, that's yet to come), maybe we should change drastically".
