To help with climate change, carbon capture will have to evolve

The technologies are useful tools but have yet to move us away from fossil fuels.

Too bad a biochemical method doesn't exist to directly capture carbon dioxide from ambient air into a solid form.

It's not like Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme in existence or anything. Why not give a dying industry billions to continue their activities instead of actually solving the problem?

@arstechnica To be clear, it is impossible for carbon capture to ever reach a sufficient level. It is an excellent tool, but it must be coupled with other solutions as well. We need a multi-pronged approach. Reduce emissions and waste, capture what we can, use alternatives where we can, etc etc. If we do all this stuff together, carbon capture becomes an incredible tool to help support the other solutions. But it can't replace the others.

@georgetakei Really, she doesn't anyone any explanation. People grow up within a culture, and they have to make the best decisions they can within that culture. We shouldn't second guess them

@georgetakei I need this on the front of my car. Not sure why, but around here people think the acceleration lane is for not accelerating. They insist on getting on going 40 in a 70 where other traffic goes 80+. And of course if you're the one behind them that means the trailer truck that can't change lanes is now on your bumper downshifting like mad, engine screaming, just a grill in your rear view mirror.

Project 2025 has been gaining media attention lately, and rightly so. With celebrities and politicians alike raising the alarm about this terrifying MAGA-made plan for a second Trump term, it's important to understand just what it would mean if it were implemented. Writer Jay Kuo breaks down the 900-page document into its key subject areas so you don't have to. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/project-2025-heritage-foundation-trump

@arstechnica I really love that you are on Mastodon, but since the timeline is pure here, dumping 12 articles at the same time, kind of spams my timeline. Is there some way you can avoid the article dump? On topic : Apple Arcade - I love the pick-up-and-play vibe of it - More Indie/experimental, is better suited for PC or Consoles imho, but it'd be good for Apple to get one fresh knock-out hit game on the service.

They "settle" it by abiding to the law. At least that's what they claim to do. I believe it when I see it.
