It’s a technofix for a problem that should be adressed way earlier in the pipeline, as is basically all carbon capture in general. These efforts divert energy and attention from solutions that actually matter.
DAC is also a nice deus ex drop in for climate scientists to make the findings more palable for corruct heads of states, padding a non existing carbon budget or even making it possible to return to semi stable ghg concentrations “theoretically possible”.
Are you describing getting tired of trying to make the world slightly less shitty, to the point where you post denigrating comments saying anything that isn’t “We fixed everything in one go, turns out it was easier than we all thought” as pointless?
Or are you just annoyed at the fact that people care enough about the concept of survivng the next 100 years to actually do something about it?

Activism fatigue is getting old. My friends in their 60s to 80s don’t show to as many protests anymore. My dead friends show to even fewer.
