Carbon capture is snake oil. It's not happening. There is no technology coming on the horizon that will actually allow us to compensate for what we're putting out currently let alone what we've already put out, and even planting a shitton of trees won't help if the environment is becoming less and less conducive to trees not burning up every summer

What about those silicate rocks you toss on the seashore that solves things

Also you can just put the mr.burns solar shade over earth to cool things down

i have a degree in economics, which is to say i'm a bit less smart than the average high schooler. however i would bet that the marginal cost of preventing emissions is much lower than that of carbon capture technology. this is besides the whole 'poo poo into the pool but get a better filter' aspect to it

I don't mean to say that it's the only thing you do and call it a day though. Pools already full of poo poo, get a better filter AND stop making GBS threads in the pool.
We'd need a fuckload (about 30,000) of CCS plants globally to just get to net zero with current emissions, but it would help at least mitigate and hopefully eventually reverse carbon levels. You could even phase out carbon sources with a functional carbon tax that funds its eventual removal, making low/no emission options more economical. We would need to phase something in slowly so the poor don't get hosed over by it, and something a global scale carbon removal project would provide is time.

So, I just don't get why they would take CCS completely off the table, especially if we think we need to take every step possible. Obviously nuclear should be an easy choice, it would reduce emissions drastically and solve the gap that wind and solar have. But, we all know why that might be a hard sell because people are stupid about it. A dollar spent on nuclear would go a lot farther, but with access to the infinite money machine, what does that really matter?

Carbon capture technology already exists and has been working for millenia. It's called trees.

I specifically mentioned trees, but again the problem is in drought environments as things continue to get worse you're more likely to have massive fires turning those wonderful carbon sinks into carbon sources.

That's a lot of silicate to throw around, how you gonna mine it all and transport it?

Looking forward to when we gently caress up the solar shade and overdo it temperature wise

We're not inventing ourselves out of this - we need to stop producing so much in the first place. But that doesn't make money so instead we're gonna choke on it, or drown in it, or burn in it.

The “Nader lost Gore the election/Nader was a plant” stuff was just a gen x version of “the DNC is an all powerful shadowy organization who is responsible for Bernie losing twice and for Swearengin losing in a landslide -40”. People always come up with excuses and delusions when they lose. Happens on all sides.

You don't have to make excuses up for Bernie.

There's plenty of recorded evidence of Bernie getting screwed.

Bernie also openly showed how much of a spineless coward he is.

Yeah none of the DNC stuff was particularly subtle and he just rolled right over both times. In retrospect it's clear bernie didn't want to win, or didn't want to do what it took to win, which is effectively the same thing.

He knew he was getting ratfucked by the media and by people in his own campaign and still he gave in. Shows you that he just didn't have it and even if he had somehow won would have not been able to do anything close to what he ran on. Sad!

he's literally a CIA agent

quote:

It's pretty much an open secret that Krasinski has been working with the CIA, most recently outed when Josh Olson, who wrote A History of Violence, mentioned on a podcast he does with Dave Anthony that he had a meeting with the CIA (because, honestly, even if you disagree with everything about the CIA, you kinda have to take that meeting just to see what it's like to meet a spook whose job it is to lasso in Hollywood for propaganda), and partway through the meeting, said spook tells him that they already have an actor on board for the stuff they've been discussing. Olson never mentions the guy's name, but Dave brings up the Jack Ryan show a few minutes later and Olson is like "oh, how'd you know?"

I mean it should have been a given once he did two CIA-boosting things back to back between 13 Hours and Jack Ryan, but I guess since both shows sank into the muck of "who cares" like every other piece of pop culture does these days, nobody really noticed
