So I came across this article,
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/06/carbon-engineering-liquid-fuel-carbon-capture-neutral-science/
And what it basically says is that today we have the technology to remove carbon out of the air and can create fuel from it which can go into your car at roughly the same cost to you as it is now. And I have also read the same type of technology can do the same in removing carbon from the sea as well.
Now, apart from the clear indication that we can remove carbon out of the air (which is a good thing), we are also able to create fuel from it. This is very important. Because in my own nation of the UK we are currently investing in fracking. Personally I am not against this as I believe a nation needs to be self reliance as possible in fuel. But if you can have the same results using cleaner technology, you need to think long term and invest in that also.
So why isn't the world investing in this? Perhaps because oil is powerful I guess. But that isn't my point. Climate change is preventable. We have the technology out there today to stop it and maybe reverse the damage at the same time. It is here. We can invest in it. So if nations are not investing in it they are not taking the problem seriously. And I include the UK in this. So should climate change destroy the ecosystem in the next generation, they truly can say that the generation before fucked them over. And this is the proof.
