- tito 4y agoAgreed. In case you or others you connect with are looking to help create more scale for carbon removal solutions, here's an online educational course I helped develop called AirMiners Boot Up -- https://bootup.airminers.org/ https://bootup.airminers.org/
- Gigachad 4y agoCarbon capture feels a lot like having a public pool which has raw sewerage pumping in to it and the proposals all focus on installing more powerful filters which can clean up some of the sewerage rather than focusing on stopping the sewerage from dumping in to the pool which is a much cheaper and more realistic solution.
- DennisP 4y agoDefinitely we need to stop the dumping, but we've already dumped a lot of sewage in the pool so we also need to clean it up.
- ncmncm 4y agoWe need most to avoid confusing work to clean it up with progress on not dumping overwhelmingly more in.

- tito 4y agoAs someone working in the industry, it can definitely feel like that at times. Using your analogy, ultimately a functional public pool depends on both not dumping in sewage, and also having filters for whatever gunk does get in the pool anyway. So on a long time horizon both are necessary.
- gumby 4y agoReducing emissions simply delays the endpoint (death). As a friend of mine quips, "the Paris agreement is a suicide pact". Even if emissions went magically to zero today we have the accumulated emissions CO2 since 1775 lingering around and trapping all the heat we want to radiate away. We have to get rid of that as well
