     @aral don't forget we should invest billions in an unproven Carbon Capture technology - oh no wait we've already done that! 🤦♂️

     (I wonder what technological invention will be next - I might try putting a sticker on my old Henry hoover and marketing it as a personal home-based mobile carbon capture device...)

     @matttutt What do you mean unproven? The largest CC facility in the world reported they managed to capture enough CO2 to offset a whooping 36 seconds of global emissions per year.
