- xwdv 5y agoCarbon removal is not possible in sufficient magnitude to make a difference, sorry.
- ptkd 5y agosource on this? The most important thing right now is definitely reducing emissions, but carbon capture certainly has a significant role to play
- titzer 5y agoBtw, "carbon capture" seems to mostly mean capturing emissions at their source, which, although it's not a bad idea, is not actually removing carbon from the atmosphere. So when you see news articles fly by that say "progress in carbon capture", look closely to see if they are just talking about scrubbing smokestacks or literally pulling carbon out of the air. The former does not un-screw us.
- matheusd 5y agoAre there any publicly-traded companies/etfs/funds/prediction markets/whatever that a retail investor can invest in if they believe that carbon removal technology will play a significant role in the future?
