    How many seconds of emissions did it take to make this machine?

    Edit: I see the other conversation about this. A tiny net benefit is good, but this technology feels like a bandage on a cracked dam. It kinda helps, but people might think it’s fixed and there’s no more obligation to keep thinking of it.

      The messaging that needs to happen is this: we need to reduce emissions drastically on a scale never before seen AND we need to fund research on extracting as much CO2 from the air as possible or we are looking at this being the worst mass extinction in Earth’s 4.5 billion year history and that includes the great dying. It is not enough to focus on Carbon capture OR CO2 emissions reduction. We need both and we need them now.
