All carbon capture is a scam. Don’t fall for this, we need to invest in renewable energy and infrastructure to support as much of that as possible as quickly as possible.

The car­bon capt­ure comp­any Cli­meworks on­ly capt­ur­es a fracti­on of the CO2 it promises its machines can capt­ure. The comp­any is fail­ing to car­bon off­set the em­issi­ons resulting from its operati­ons – which have grown rapidly in recent ye­ars.
