Interestingly it doesn't even discuss the obvious solution: Let people who buy real meat pay for the externalities. (Interestingly even in places where there's some form of carbon pricing - like the EU - this often doesn't co

It seems pretty obvious that extracting a gas that is less than a tenth of a percent in the air is inherently difficult. That said: I'm all for investing in DAC technology. We will definitely need it for some sectors. But you need to c
