No, it wouldn’t.

They’d come up with dodgy and dangerous schemes that would probably just cause more damage. And that would just be before they found a way to monetize it all…

Does the liberals on here not have the foggiest clue how capitalism works?

They’d do what they do with green washing currently; measure what they took out, but not how much the put in doing it!

Yep: Easiest place to capture carbon is probably inside a coal power plant chimney, so the winner would be the one who invested in the most coal power plants and put a little sponge or something on the end of the chimney to capture ~0.1% of the carbon emissions…

Absolutely! Look at what happened to Mr I Want To Go See The Titanic Personally. That was with his own life on the line! Not to mention his teenage son! Please god don’t trust the rest of our fucking lives to these maniacs.

That’s just going to take resources away from other things. Such as keeping fossil fuel plants open as clean power gets diverted to carbon removal.

We already could end world hunger if we stopped feeding so much of our crops to other animals https://awellfedworld.org/issues/hunger/feed-vs-food

Sadly, even that wouldn’t work, they would just start sabotaging each other and no one would accomplish it, and once again the suffering would fall on the impoverished

But then the line might go up more slowly for a while! Everything must be sacrificed to the line!

Maybe it’ll be a new “line go up” metric and replace the existing line with a better one…?

Wishful thinking, I know.
