climate change isn't really about saving the climate. it is about monetizing carbon. even now in west texas an major oil company is going to hire the germans to build a huge carbon sequestration facility to use large fans to suck in huge volumes or air and remove C02 from it. the product will be pelleted and buried. enjoy paying for that?

The O&G companies are being forced to do this. So naturally they are looking to make money from it. Now just how do you "capture" something and bury it and make money from that?

Look at .gov and you'll find the answer because they are paying for it (which really means we are).

That was because of the trilobites driving SUV's 500,000,000 years ago and none are found today. CO2 levels are a joke, look at this graph of the past 800,000 years:

Looks pretty cyclical to me, but I'm not paid by the EPA.

Methane and isoprene emissions are more of a problem but the govt can’t tax trees or cows as easily as people burning stuff
