We're still burning fossil carbon for energy.
Carbon capture does not make sense until we have an excess of clean energy to power it.
Scaling it now would do more harm than good.

Bingo. Carbon capture research right now? Sure, absolutely, I'd like something better than 'pump CO2 underground'. But that's all, any talk of actually building at scale is ultimately just venture capital grift
You mean the boondoggle is struggling to doggle enough?
Well it's certainly lacking in the boon category.
What we need to do is to stop emitting so much greenhouse gas and planet more trees and do things like that.
Contact your politicians and demand a faster transition to renewable energy.
The transition will happen faster if carbon emissions are banned
Just call your politician and demand a fossil fuel emission ban
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
