    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” ?
