Carbon capture’s sole purpose is for the fossil fuel companies to have an excuse to keep extracting more and for everyone else to keep burning more.

It's everyone's favorite technofix, because it fits very neatly with business-as-usual. It's so good that it made its way into IPCC 1.5C and 2C projections. Anything to keep the economy chugging along and collect the sweet profits for a bit longer.

Once and fail to solve the problem it'll be time for . 🍿

Geoengineering sounds like a quick climate fix, but without more research and guardrails, it’s a costly gamble — with potentially harmful results.

@TheConversationUS reports "changing Earth’s complex and interconnected climate system may have unintended consequences."

My sad prediction is that when 2030s and 2040s roll around and the GHG emissions keep going up despite the world making a shitton of and EVs the techno-optimists will just try to sell us yet another product: , direct air capture, seawalls, Vault-Tec bunkers, etc.

A really good commentary on the issues surrounding from Climate Adam: youtu.be/71jlEyIc1Pk

Long story short: we care about because it causes disruptions in the weather patterns: longer and deadlier heatwaves, droughts, floods, fires, etc. While geoengineering may lower the global temperature it may also have other weather-disrupting side effects. In other words, by fixing one problem it could create another.

Mit Methoden des sogenannten (hier genauer: Solar Radiation Management) könnte das theoretisch künstlich beeinflusst und abgekühlt werden. Forschende in haben nun untersucht, ob man mit einer künstlichen «Abdunkelung der Sonne» das Abschmelzen des westantarktischen Eisschildes verhindern könnte. Die Resultate zeigen, dass die künstliche Beeinflussung nicht ohne auskommt und hohe mit sich bringt, insbesondere unabwägbare Folgen für künftige Generationen.

Humanity is not rational. You can't save if you insist humanity must become your definition of "good" first. That means we will head for

We need now!

@FransVeldman Your arguments are deeply flawed:
1- when suffering becomes higher more and less action will result. Action will decrease. More politicians
2- irreversible impact will result, that we can still can avoid now

Humanity is not rational.

@xs4me2 @breadandcircuses And that's why I advocate for

We can't let this happen while we have a break that can buy us time

Next to rising emissions, changing clouds by reduced due to the phasing out of high-sulfur ship fuel are to blame (at least partially) for the recent record-breaking North Atlantic .

As @voooos wrote, this "unintended test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth".

Yet, to keep in mind:
is a result of rising emissions - does not tackle the cause of the problem.
