We need to capture some of what we've already put in the atmosphere. Keep what's in the ground there, and capture back what we've already polluted.

We need both, not one or the other.

You're correct, but stopping consumption is more important than capture and oftentimes the potential to carbon capture is used as an excuse to keep burning inefficient fuels.

This isn't about capturing carbon that has already been released though.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That's fair, though hopefully they will also be able to capture general CO2 in the air, not just what is emitted from the oilsands directly.

But we absolutely do need general CO2 capture, because the level of CO2 is already way too high, and even if we go to zero emissions today we will still see drastic warming due to the already present CO2.
