Expensive, publicly-funded Carbon Capture & Storage is barely visible in Australia’s new emissions data.

1. Those scams are a rounding error at best. We need to stop falling into every delay the oil industry sets up.

   The only thing that we can build to help ourselves from this gargantuan mess are guillotines.

2. My view is that all carbon capture is now is a branch of early research.

   Everyone who attacks it is way off base in my view. It would be like having seen the very first solar panel and saying “not efficient enough, stop ALL research into it and abandon solar.”

   It’s not good now. But we are doing very little with it. Keep experimenting and researching, and maybe it will become a valuable tool someday.

   It’s wild to me that supposed climate activists would angrily throw out a tool because it’s too new and not good enough yet.

3. Yeah, it’s greenwashing. It’s a distraction; a scam.

4. Carbon capture only works for source point emissions.

5. Carbon capture at the scale we need is not within our reach for now.

   When the bath is overflowing common sense is to turn off the tap BEFORE taking out the mop.

6. because it’s a way that big oil is able to distract us and the government from the problem they’re causing and give us Hopium that there’s a solution and that we can just keep burning burning burning.

7. Carbon capture has always been a complete non starter, the money should go into things like solar or wind
