Q: How can we stop climate change
A: We can’t
A: We never wanted to
That’s reality. We are in the process of going extinct — actively — right now
The wishful thinking, push-back, propaganda, and and noble indignation is nothing more than hot air on an overheating planet.
WELCOME to the soon to be short lived “Carbon Capture” to the rescue media blitz
The ads are popping up everywhere — “ CARBON CAPTURE”
Lots of People of Color as the actors — great graphics — big smiles — lot’s of hope.
When one goes online to find out how much carbon we are capturing at present or how much we will be capturing,,,,,,,, the bullshit gets thick fast.
Look for the tell tale words “ due to, ” “online to” , “set to”,” in development” ,” “in the works” ….. If the headline says 35,000 metric tons per year — the actual is probably 1,000 at present BUT they are scaling up for more.
Here’s a great video on how we convince ourselves it’s both gonna happen and we can fix it (but we can’t)

Very articulate “journalists” and some savvy content creators tell a circular tale of carbon capture.
We don’t have it — but if we invest in it we will.
Because we haven’t, we need to invest more
The urgency is great and the effects of climate change are getting worse — so we really have to-
Because we have to — we will
Wishful thinking isn’t a solution to an existing problem
And we need to pull carbon outta the air …… because our pollution is keeping us cooler on a planet that is overheating.
Aerosol Masking Effect
Welcome to the Aerosol Masking Effect — the demonstrated phenomena whereby the pollutants we spew into the air block sun rays and prevent more extreme over heating.

REALITY
the NOAA climate Dashboard does not lie — this is where you live

If you need more proof for the ongoing extinction than the CO2 graphs and Arctic Sea Ice graphs — don’t sell your stock in the Brooklyn Bridge — it will only increase in value over time
