Cue the usual naysayers claiming that Carbon Capture doesn't work.🙄
In fact, Carbon Capture *does work* & is in commercial use (eg Germany). It uses electricity - but *that can be from renewable sources too*.
Thousands of jobs are *already being filled*

So, now we’re at 89 seconds to midnight. I remember that optimistic time in the 90s when the Doomsday Clock was at 14 minutes to. But war, climate change, AI & disease have edged our species to the brink of disaster. This isn’t a gimmick; it’s real science & hard data.
