Obviously, this will probably never happen. In the best future for humanity, maybe we can drop our emissions enough to allow for such a thing. But more likely societal collapse

    If we went carbon neutral today, things would continue to worsen for an estimated 50-70 years before correcting. Only going significantly carbon negative solutions will have the rapid, desired effect, and that’s nigh impossible.

      One of the Civilization 6 expansions introduces climate changes. You can unlock a technology for carbon recapture, however, generally by the time you are able to unlock it, climate change is already occurring. You’re also not able to reverse damage that has already been done.

      While it can be frustrating in game, I appreciate the fact that the developers realistically incorporated it not being feasible.

    If this does happen, and there are strong carbon controls globally, we could potentially reverse global warming very very slowly. But it would trend to the better. I’m hopeful

      Uhh… Broski when it’s pumped into the ground it’s not just pouring gas into dirt, they are running it through Balsaltic rocks and forming stable minerals in the bedrock.

      Just because you’re too stupid to figure out how it works doesn’t mean scientists are

        I’m not sure I’d trust the marketing produced by a for-profit company trying to sell a solution.

          Sell it?! Who are they selling science to? What would they even sell? They didn’t patent the technology of putting carbonated water near rocks

            It looks like they’re planning to sell offsets:

            At present, Carbfix does not have a carbon offsetting program for individuals and companies to offset their emissions. However, please check again in the near future!
