Who?

Do they have a post ww3 nuclear armageddon victim doll? (It would just be an empty box)

That pun in the headline made me half sour

I mean we could just stop chopping down trees which put it into the soil to be recycled and produce oxygen at the same time 🙃

they already have jaundice.

serious question, how is "disabled people existing" and private corporations finding niche markets suddenly "woke"?

Once upon a time when I was an engineer at a concrete company we tried this and not only was the quality of the concrete apparently lower it required more chemical additives to set properly kind of negating the benefits. IIRC there was also an industry presentation at a conference we attended that showed that once the concrete wore down or was broken up which inevitable with any major job it released the CO2.

The production of cement for concrete is still one of the largest contributors to GHG emissions out there and without fixing that portion of the equation the concrete industry will still be a problem

Have doubts. First concrete production alone makes a lot of co2 from the energy alone needed. Concrete is porest? So how will it hold the co2 in. Concrete isnt forever unless Roman so will it release mozt of the co2 when its eventually torn down.

The problem with greenwashing is not only that it does very little. It's also that it gives people a false sense of security and distracts them from doing the stuff that could actually have a real impact.

The claim (title) is usually the least of the problems. A bunch of stuff works, just not in a big scaly, environmental friendly and economically worthy way.

Lolololol! this sub, man

But nobody wants to address the problem. Try to mention reducing consumption on reddit. You'll be downvoted to oblivion. People want large companies to cut emissions without realizing that this would directly impact their ability to buy more shit whenever they feel like. It's always someone else's problem.

Plants already exist that pull carbon out of the air. However they're highly inefficient and extremely expensive to run. The headline makes this sound like a startup making big promises to investors while barely having a working model right now. This technology may one day do what it says, but right now it falls very, very short of its promises.

Trees do this on a daily basis..

It costs more energy to capture carbon than to produce so we’re running at a net deficit energy conversion ratio.

And that you care that I care makes perfect sense.

I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and taste like orange sherbet.

I never did, and my curvature was bad enough that it was absolutely considered. A back brace fixed it enough so I got by without.

My complaint is the doll's age; I don't think many toddlers need treatment. I know it happens, but I suspect the preteen and teen years are MUCH more common.

I'm sorry, this made me laugh.

“Fuck you bc you’re not as fucked up as me”

That’s what you sound like

I've had to recently read into CCS systems for Uni and the most common issue i read about with most systems is 1. Whether they're actually able to reduce and store CO2 long term effectively and 2. The amount of energy required to do so (and how much CO2 is needed to produce that energy)

Also without any monetary incentive it is unlikely for someone to build a factory like that, the price for emissions needs to be high enough for it to make sense to build a facility that reduces it (or there needs to be another advantage)

But yes, considering that after Energy and Transportation the Cement industry is one of the leading emitters on a global scale this could be an interesting development

who'd have thought that companies doing "nice" things is performative bullshit
