So, how much for his head?
The 2,500 tons of Co2 are roughly equivalent to the tailpipe emissions of 550 avg. australian cars.
So, a wet fart.
This is/has been a test facility, not a large scale million-s tons a year thing. Because that’s not yet possible, this is a step in a good direction. It’s a tremendous advancement that can hopefully continue to be scaled up.
It’s a technofix for a problem that should be adressed way earlier in the pipeline, as is basically all carbon capture in general. These efforts divert energy and attention from solutions that actually matter.
DAC is also a nice deus ex drop in for climate scientists to make the findings more palable for corruct heads of states, padding a non existing carbon budget or even making it possible to return to semi stable ghg concentrations “theoretically possible”.

Maybe, but it is better to try to fix a problem that exist than doing nothing hoping to fix the cause.
What would you suggest as “solutions that actually matter” ?
