Space/Science » in reply to No, Rob. YOU are missing the point.

You're jumping to conclusions

Not everything is a conspiracy ffs. There are honest sincere scientists in the world working to develop solutions to a looming catastrophe.

I don't think anyone would suggest CO2-to-graphene or any of the other potential technologies I listed are stand alone solutions. As I said before, this is an all hands on deck problem that requires multiple solutions. If various atmospheric carbon mitigation technologies combined can reduce 5 - 10% of global carbon emissions it's worth it imo.

Saying the ONLY thing we should be doing is to stop all burning of fossil fuels may be the correct idea but it is unrealistic in the short and even medium run. It's not going to happen. The world craves abundant energy, and minus an immediate and practical clean alternative, nations will unfortunately continue to rely on fossil fuels. That's just the hard reality. Your "my way or the highway" thinking would potentially make the disaster worse. It's like saying there's no need for STD meds, just stop everyone from having sex.
