    Yeah, it’s different. I think the machine on the left is an infinite energy machine. Those will never work.

    The machine on the right is a carbon capture machine which does work. But not well enough. Are fast enough to solve any of the problems that we have.

    I’m fine with playing around with a carbon capture machine and seeing if we can improve it, but I would never want to rely solely on it.

    I want to try a thousand solutions to the global warming problem. Including societal and government changes. Cuz you know otherwise we all die.

      I mean, we already have carbon sequestration machines that are even self replicating, and require minimal, if any maitenance…

      Trees and algae.

      Most pollution comes from shipping, agriculture, and other large industries. Poor countries/people cannot contribute because they are barely getting by as is. Even if the entire middle class in wealthy countries magically switched to electric/public/bicycling, started recycling, stopped watering grass, etc. it would make no noticeable difference.

      The idea that social changes at individual level can help with pollution comes directly from propaganda pushed by cunts who are actually killing our planet for profit. Fuck them. Don’t spread their lies.

        I don’t. When I say social change I’m more talking about like social thinking that individuals are the problem. Sorry if that was not clear.
