Sometimes it feels like we are going to find solutions to every modern problem except taking the carbon out of the air.
And then we’ll discover that some of those solutions created some new secret, worse, problem we now have to solve
The solution is called trees (and other plants). We just have to plant them and not burn stuff.
Unfortunately, in many places now, new planted trees don’t survive the multiple disasters coming one after the other: drought, fire, flood, rinse and repeat.
This is is still better than nothing where they can survive, but we passed the point where we can save ourselves by planting trees.
Number one priority should be on stopping burning fossil. We’re getting nowhere close to that. Most countries give themselves pats on the back for adding enough renewable to reduce the % of fossil fuel energy, without actually reducing the absolute number.
and other plants
So what you’re saying is, we need to replace all life in the oceans with invasive toxic GMO algae?
We have solutions to carbon, it’s just that the people who have the power to utilize those solutions refuse to do it so they can get a bigger number in their bank account.
…and the people keep living unsustainably, bankrolling dodgy corporations, and voting for dodgy politicians, while not taking any responsibility
