We've taken the biosphere to the brink of devastation through this kind of carefree approach with CO2.
The precautionary principle needs to at the forefront any large project involving hydrocarbons. Maybe instead of trusting the companies that got us into this mess we should, do the opposite, and not trust their claims?

- Teever 4y agoQuibbling over words. We've caused devastation by over confidently assuming that we know what we're talking about and that there won't be any unintended consequences from our actions. We did it before and we'll do it again.
