Boy, am I surprised.

They really are North Texas.

Except our pushovers will sell us out at the first opportunity.

no idea how they’ll use those trademarks

They will use them every chance they get until there is no meaning left.

ALL the plant mass on earth only takes up about 56% of carbon emissions from fossil fuels (there are additional emissions from agriculture, fires, and other natural sources). To break even we would have to plant an additional 0.4 earth’s of plant life, cut it all down on new years, and find somewhere to hid it that it will never rot or otherwise break down.

We are so far beyond fucked. The only way to not return the atmosphere to a prehistoric state is to stop burning fossil fuels all together.

Even if we moved to wood as a replacement fuel for areas that can’t afford to electrify overnight it would be better than coal/oil/gas as the carbon in wood was only very recently pulled from the atmosphere. Having fuel forests would grab that carbon and re-solidify it into wood via solar power!

Shocking, it’s like BOTH parties will do what every they need to do to gain power and the favour of more powerful, people. The Canadian government has been an economic and political appendage of the US since long before Trump got on the scene.

Even if you could put megatons of hemp at the bottom of the ocean and stop it from floating back, it would be like a whalefall. Life down there would go insane with a limitless supply of carbohydrates.

Plants capture 56% of fossil fuel emissions annually, and they are the most efficient way we have to capture CO2 with solar power. So we would have to grow an additional 0.4 earth’s worth of plants, every year, and then find a place to hide them where they never rot or break down forever, just to break even.

To do the capture directly with human chemistry would take up even more space just in solar panels, due to the lower efficiency.

The only way to cut down on atmospheric carbon is to stop using fossil fuels all together.

It took thousands of years for plants to capture the carbon we burn every year. We are so far past ‘the trees will help us’.

If you have enough solar to waste it capturing carbon you can just stop burning carbon and use solar power to begin with. Catching the sun to catch the carbon you burned to make electricity is just an expensive Rube Goldberg that kills us.

We already have that nanotech, photosynthesis. A process perfected over billions of years to be as efficient as possible. It works so well that gigatons of carbon was captured and then trapped in underground.

The problem is that capturing carbon is literally un-burning it, by plant or by nanobot you have to rip the oxygen off of carbon and make sure they stay that way. That process consumes energy, it is working up hill against entropy. Burning carbon to form CO2 is downhill all the way, you give it a push and it’s self sustaining.

Unless you have a power source that exceeds all fossil fuel burning processes, by like 10x, you can never capture carbon at a meaningful rate. (And if you DO have that 10x clean energy source, you already don’t need to burn more carbon)

Except they will rot down there and release methane and CO2. Stopping emissions is step 0 of this process, then we have to find a way to re-fossilize captured carbon.

Can’t be done. Takes more energy to capture carbon than is released when you burn it. At best we stop burning fossil fuels and use capture mechanisms that run on renewables (like trees, provided that the wood is then stored in such a way that it never rots or breaks down).

“You’re not going to eliminate cars. You’re not going to eliminate transportation sound. But we can do a better job of keeping those away from people,” he said.

Hey look! More propaganda.

You can 100% cut down car noise by replacing them with street cars, electric busses, commuter trains and bicycles.

🤡 gotta save all our taxes to subsidize oil and gas!

One of the maplemaga I work with has been all over this shit. Lately he has been telling me that a 6 foot wide government drown flew over and shot a bird.

Ontario is home of ‘The Convoy’ we know how dumb we look.

Nothing you can do to a billionaire is a crime in comparison to the “business” that makes them wealthy.

I have never seen anyone abuse a self checkout machine. They are 100% infallible.

Management doesn’t want to pay more people.

It’s hilarious how anti-labour most Canadians are, whenever the teachers, nurses, postal workers, [any public service workers] go on strike, people lose there minds about the greedy workers. All of us, are closer to being homeless and dying on the street than we are to being one of the parasites that get rich of the work of others.
