Hopefully we figure out the other part eventually.

zbrownzbrown@floss.socialJun 27, 2026, 2:12 PM@thomasfuchs yeah I'm all for cleaning up the atmosphere and ideally as fast as possible but it boggles the mind people prioritise it over *stopping setting it on fire*
Gabriel Pettiertshirtman@mas.toJun 27, 2026, 4:20 PM@zbrown @thomasfuchs and it'll be orders of magnitude more expensive to cleanup later, if even possible, not burning it is incredibly economical.

Yeah, but setting it on fire is soooo much more comfortable.
jramskovjramskov@helvede.netJun 27, 2026, 5:31 PM@thomasfuchs And electrifying everything. Transport, heatpumps, etc. - much more energy efficient.
pomubiengpomubieng@mastodon.socialJun 27, 2026, 8:03 PM@thomasfuchs it’s not more important for now, they just produce money which carbon capture does not. Changing to renewables won’t disappear infinite growth needs (capitalism leitmotiv), which is the root of all current problems. Besides to produce solar pannels and wind turbines you need to keep on burning fossil fuels.
