    I only found out about Climeworks recently and was watching a fluffy news segment about what they were doing.

    My overriding thought at the time was, like, plant some trees, maybe?

      I guess the pitch is that stuff like making concrete and steel generate crazy loads of carbon, so capturing it at source in theory sounds viable and pretty effective?

      That “in theory” is doing a bunch of heavy lifting though, because so far climate capture hasn’t achieved anything other than being an excuse not to actually do anything about CO2 emmisions because “maybe some magic technology in 5 years will solve everything for us”
