Yeah but venture capitalists can't make money off of it if they don't! Think of the share holders!

So it's a way?

It's like addressing a wound by mopping up all the blood and injecting it back into your body. Good luck.

It's... It's nothing like that. Literally not like that at all.

Pulling carbon out of the air instead of addressing pollution at the source is not like continuously mopping up blood instead of treating the wound? To me the parallels are almost exact.

And, besides everything mentioned, it would create several mountains and hills (from all that solid state carbon).

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: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
