I just read Heather Rodgers’ ‘Green Gone Wrong: Dispatches From the Front Lines of Eco-Capitalism’. A lot of these carbon capture companies charge out the ass for these projects, which they then outsource to India, where the local corruption means that these projects are rarely actually done. Additionally a lot of the trees they use to offset Gates’ private jet romps only live for ~50 years, which means that as soon as they die en masse in a few decades all that captured carbon gets released again.
Rodgers and her translator were told to basically get the fuck out of the towns where this happens or else they’d face consequences.
I suppose there are ways to check which companies actually fulfill these orders, but of course under capitalism etc…

"no, no, it's the same rules for everyone. the rule is, everyone worth less than a billion dollars should suffer." :agony:
