This article is talking about removing CO2 from the atmosphere, did you not read it before commenting?
> How come Microsoft or Bill Gates don't invest in better CO2 scrubber technology that might make that feasible? Or do they and I just haven't heard of it?
Bill Gates is doing just that: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/04/carbon-emissions-negative-emissions-technologies-capture-storage-bill-gates https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/04/carbon-e...
- Barrin92 7y agoalso probably noteworthy to add that Microsoft is a private firm who is not directly incentivized economically to do this (apart from maybe attracting some environmentally conscious workers), so this is already quite a lot. It says much less about Microsoft and much more about the political state of affairs that a company appears more forward-looking than most other institutions. It's quite sad really.
