the idea of anti-capitalism no longer acts as the antithesis to capitalism. Instead, it is deployed as a means for reinforcing capitalism. This is done through media which aims to provide a safe means of consuming anti-capitalist ideas without actually challenging the system.

so "The World's Largest" carbon capture plant that opened manages to capture 3 seconds of yearly output in 1 year

Meaning we need roughly ...10,483,200 of them to become carbon neutral










if you ignore the cost of building them or the large amounts of energy required in them to superheat the air and sequester the carbon

Maybe if the world has cut emissions in half by 2050 we can double the effectiveness of the technology and only need 2,620,000 of them to become carbon neutral



if we ignore the cost of building them or the large amounts of energy required in them




Then we can work on dealing with the amount of climate change we have already guaranteed

Yeah I mean even BP is doing something. They've committed to

https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/what-we-do/gas-and-low-carbon-energy.html

Which is far, far more than the doomers who think that there's no way to meaningfully address climate change have done. If you think there's no way for our current system to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, then congrats, you're playing right into the hands of the people most responsible for it. Could bp be doing more? Sure. But they could also be doing a lot less. So you can either support these efforts or just throw your hands in the air and give up.

The next few years will be crucial. Now is the time to get to work.

“The ‘Grain Train’ is going to happen,” Brazil’s infrastructure minister, Tarcísio de Freitas, told the hundreds of mostly male spectators who had flocked there in a caravan of high-end SUVs.

...

Mauro Mendes, the rightwing governor of Mato Grosso state, where the railroad would start, derided the meddlesome leftists supposedly trying to torpedo the plan, including the US senator Bernie Sanders, the Mexican actor Gael García Bernal and Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.

“Are we really going to lose to these guys? No! We’ll win this war – and we’ll fight with all the weapons necessary,” Mendes told the summit in Sinop, remembering how Native American communities were devastated by the construction of the US transcontinental railroad in the 19th century.

“We will build the Ferrogrão without killing a single Indian!” Mendes proclaimed to loud applause.
