Bury your carbon, bury yourself

It's easy to see why the histrionics over "climate change" are not only explainable, but inevitable.

Are you among the 85% of adults who, according to MasterCard, state that "they're willing to take personal action to combat environmental and sustainability issues in 2021"? MasterCard has partnered with a Swedish company called Docotomy to unveil the new Do Black MasterCard — the world's first credit card with a carbon limit! Do Black "not only helps users track and measure CO2 emissions associated with their purchases but also puts a limit to the climate impact of their spending."

So instead of a spending limit in dollars, the card is limited by the climate impact of your purchases. The possibilities for voluntary and not so voluntary compliance are endless; however, as not all carbon is created equal, allowances will have to be made for the frequent, though necessary, private jet travel of the elites, as well as adjustable carbon allowances for various regions of the planet.

On a less personal level, a company called Navigator CO2 Ventures LLC is working hard to capture and sequester carbon (CCS) from the farmland of five Midwestern states, through an endeavor they've christened Heartland Greenway. As if CO2 were not really plant food, as formerly taught in grade school, Heartland Greenway wants to "capture and store 15 million metric tons of CO2 every year" from some of the world's richest farmland by building huge interconnected contraptions to capture, dehydrate, compress, and liquefy CO2, which would be transported via a 1,300-mile steel pipeline, then pumped into its permanent resting place in the ground, more than a mile below the surface.

And as if it were not an irredeemably boneheaded policy to burn our food supply in the midst of increasing worldwide famine

It is amazing to watch how the politicians can exploit the tendencies in some people for self loathing.

It is not self loathing but self aggrandizing.

Or to put it another way it is fake virtue signaling.

When you have no actual virtue you have to feel good about yourself some how.

I have a credit card with a carbon limit! See how wonderful I am? Sure I had my children killed, shop lift and kick puppies but that little piece of plastic makes me a really good person.

The best way to capture carbon is to end recycling and burry all the wood and paper in landfills!
Maybe even cut trees and burry them!

iquefy CO2, which would be transported via a 1,300-mile steel pipeline, then pumped into its permanent resting place in the ground,

So a 1300 mile long pipeline carrying “liquid” CO2 ( which can only exist at a pressure above 5.1 atm (5.2 bar; 75 psi), under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) and above −56.6 °C is okay but a natural gas or oil pipeline is bad.

There’s a scene in the movie Zathura when an astronaut tells a kid about carnivorous aliens eat meat and that we’re meat. These satanist want to rid the world of carbon, We’re CARBON, they want us dead and gone so they can rule the world
