…in the end it’s the only practical way we can currently sequester all of the CO2 we dumped into the atmosphere over the last 200 years of coal burning.
And that’s why it’s unrealistic. That’s a lot. And it’s not only in the air, it’s in the oceans, too. The scale at which CCS needs to work is…honestly almost impossible for me to wrap my head around.
Not to mention, oil companies use CCS to justify their business model. Because, if you can remove CO2 in the atmosphere, why not dump more?

Me too. The amount of CO2 that needs to be captured and sequestered is so enormous that it boggles the mind. Still, everything helps and the best time to start is now.

I’m not supportive of this line of thinking unless we can reliably capture at least 500% of yearly global CO2 emissions. There’s some future merit to their argument but not right now.
