@GreenFire but for heaven's sake, I have immense trust in the scientific community. If they say it's fine, it will be fine with me. You're the one cherry-picking to fit your confirmation bias and you don't even realize it. Now, can you explain how you went from selling Ghana's carbon credits, which you haven't mentioned again, to carbon storage? And no, at the moment, there is still no certainty that CO2 storage is absolutely safe. >>

@GreenFire Tests are currently underway to demonstrate its feasibility and safety, and although there are studies showing that CO2 can be stored in deep rock formations for thousands of years, concerns remain about the potential risk of CO2 leaks and induced seismic activity https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-magazine/storing-co2-underground-can-curb-carbon-emissions-it-safe

@GreenFire unfortunately, carbon credits are unreliable; it's greenwashing 😞

@GreenFire I do thorough research and I don't follow propaganda. Simply put, any verification of the effectiveness of carbon credits has shown that they are unreliable. There are numerous scandals where companies offering these credits are also involved in intimidation and threats against local populations.
Some interesting reading:

@GreenFire forgive me, but you don’t know me at all. I’ve been following this topic for years, and a study on Science seems much more reliable to me than many discussions. I always change my mind, but I need concrete evidence, data, and facts, and right now carbon capture is not sufficiently tested, with many doubts about the long-term consequences within the scientific community. You mention Ghana without providing data, and moreover, you >>

@GreenFire cite an article from an association that praises itself, and no, that is definitely not enough for me to change my mind. So, what do I find when researching Ghana? Two articles with good references, and honestly, it doesn’t seem like a great idyll: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/ghana-emissions-tax-carbon-levy-climate-hypocrisy-punish-citizens-government/ ---
