On the topic of geo engineering, I want to share a quote [0] from the physicist Joshua Bach:
"As long as we are still burning fossil fuels to generate energy, the idea of capturing the CO2 from the atmosphere is a joke. It would require more than all the energy we have generated since the beginning of the industrial age. Or millions of years of growing non-rotting trees."

- avmich 8y agoI wonder why he thinks so. What are the calculations? Why can't we use green energy to separate CO2 in atmosphere from clean air and do that faster than we as civilization add CO2 to air, thus buying some time to apply non-technical solutions?
