minus-squareAesthesiaphilia@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year ago carbon sequestration is not ever going to work I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s a thing that is currently being done. Not some future hypothetical tech. But yes it is too expensive for now. Costs are coming down hopefully that continues to be the case. And yes, the best, cheapest, most efficient way to reduce ghg is to eliminate fossil fuels.
minus-squarebioemerl@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIt’s hilariously expensive and it’s expensive because physics. We measure carbon in the atmosphere in parts per million. The entire surface area of the planet is already littered with Caron absorbers and they don’t make a dent. It’s never happening
