This is exactly what they would all be doing if we just made the goddamn digital carbon currency!
They still haven’t decided the pissing match over who can profit the most off pumping the atmosphere full of CO2.
They will urinate us to the stone age.
Reading the word ‘billionaires’ and then ‘removing … from our atmosphere’, my brain wasn’t computing.
‘Billionaires removing oxygen to sell back to us’ would make sense.
That’s a doctor who episode
Removing oxygen from billionaires isn’t the worst idea either. Maybe by sending them down to the Titanic or off to Mars.
No, because someone would remove all the carbon and all the plants world die.
imagine atmospheric carbon becoming a delicacy. fuck…
Literally.
The good news is that we lowered carbon, the bad news is that cardiovascular disease and resulting deaths are through the roof and we still don’t know what to do with all of the butter.
There is only one chance to end world hunger, as soon as its solved nobody else can do it! Imagine the prestige!
We already could end world hunger if we stopped feeding so much of our crops to other animals https://awellfedworld.org/issues/hunger/feed-vs-food
Sadly, even that wouldn’t work, they would just start sabotaging each other and no one would accomplish it, and once again the suffering would fall on the impoverished
Don’t hold your breath.
Depending on where you live, that may be the best option.
I’d rather see a posting match over who can pay the most taxes.
They came up with a device to do this at scale, however it IS powered by orphan blood.
If only there was an easy way to mass produce orphans!
That’s fine, we can start with the oldest billionaires and work our way down.
No, it wouldn’t.
They’d come up with dodgy and dangerous schemes that would probably just cause more damage. And that would just be before they found a way to monetize it all…
Does the liberals on here not have the foggiest clue how capitalism works?
Absolutely! Look at what happened to Mr I Want To Go See The Titanic Personally. That was with his own life on the line! Not to mention his teenage son! Please god don’t trust the rest of our fucking lives to these maniacs.
Exactly.
They’d do what they do with green washing currently; measure what they took out, but not how much the put in doing it!
Elon, probably: “You’re all trying to undo your carbon emissions while I’m making electric cars to lower my carbon footprint. If it’s not clear who’s the winner, it’s because you’re too focused on being a pedo.”
New contest! See which billionair can remove the most billionaires from the earth. Last one standing gets to live. Ok, well maybe at least a movie.
Gotta sneak it in tge side… let’s try “who can build the largest/most diamonds from atmospheric carbon”.
Oh. It’s a thing. I thought it was an onion type site for a few moments.
It’s a start. Honestly, industrial grade diamonds - the small ones with poor optical quality that go into abrasives, saws - would be even better. And that would side-step the elephant in the room: upsetting the DeBeers diamond cartel.
That said, we need a staggering amount of renewable energy to pull this off, but it’s doable. And as far as sequestration goes, the only tech we have that’s anywhere near as good is turning CO2 into plastic and permanently burying it in landfills. That’s how important this is.
I think biochar production is pretty effective and scalable. Check this company out: https://bioforcetech.com/
They’d still do more harm
