Humans can be dumb. And also clever.


Oct 7, 2020, 5:41 AM

Climate-change denial is a massive problem. The solution, though, has never resided in political arguments but in making the argument itself irrelevant - okay, if we're injecting CO2 into the atmosphere and slowly cooking ourselves, what do we do about it?

That's actually Part 2 of the two-pronged nothing-is-happening/it's-hopeless-anyway argument climate-change deniers always make, denying that something is amiss while at the same time wringing their hands about our power to do something about it on that scale.

Others, though, see it for what it really is: not a political argument, certainly not an existential one...it's just a math problem. And they're realizing that carbon-capture tech is a way to close the loop - take the carbon that's causing problems out of the atmosphere, and then do useful stuff with it. And make a boatload of money in the process, since everything from gasoline to plastic to concrete uses various forms of carbon products.

This is how that math problem is solved - not with politics, not with "Green New Deals", but by innovators getting out and making money.

Carbon capture 'moonshot' moves closer, as billions of dollars pour in
While some say CO2 capture is part of the problem, billions of dollars are being invested in it as a part solution to the climate crisis
