#capitalism is going to kill us all. The people that rise to the top are only concerned with making money. This is a prime example
The nation’s first commercial carbon sequestration plant is in Illinois. It leaks
.
The locals are worried: “Just because CO2 sequestration can be done doesn't mean it should be done."
Capitalism BT its very definition is about money. A business is rarely created to NOT make money.
As a venture capitalist once told me, 9 out of 10 companies he invests in fail or break even. This is one of the failures.
Plants do sequester carbon (as well as heavy metals), which is a good thing. It seems to me (without knowing details) they’re doing it wrong.
@feloneouscat The ecosphere is dying - it's dying because the corporations and systems that are responsible have refused to take the necessary actions and have delayed any serious attempts to solve the problem. Yes plants absorb CO2 but that is slowing down.
Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?
The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models ...
@YouInMyEye That's awesome who are they?

Capitalism is the single biggest factor in creating this disaster as it is based on ever growing consumerism. The 1%'s wealth gives them the means for controlling politics and media.

The 1% aren’t just the biggest climate wreckers, they also greatly influence how the world responds to the crisis
