To be clear: carbon capture like this is a tiny and expensive part of what needs doing over the next few years
It’s getting a lot of support and publicity in large part because it’s backed by the oil industry, which is trying to create social permission for continued extraction and burning on a much larger scale than the removal.
You’re right, next time I see a house on fire I’ll be sure to head over with a glass of water to “help”
Eventually I might research the bucket and be able to help more
Carbon capture is more like chest compressions done by someone who isn’t a medical professional while you wait for an ambulance. It isn’t a replacement, by a long shot, but you can both provide limited assistance now and ask for better assistance.
Also, not sure why you say ‘eventually’ when we are already implementing several solutions to eliminate fossil fuels across the globe. I agree we aren’t doing enough, but to act like putting effort into carbon capture is useless is acting in bad faith, because the only argument you have is that you are letting perfect be the enemy of good.
