    Perhaps read an introductory article on carbon storage, or ask ChatGPT:

    Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): This involves capturing CO₂ emissions from industrial sources, transporting it, and storing it underground in geological formations.

    Direct Air Capture (DAC): This technology captures CO₂ directly from the air and stores it underground or uses it in industrial processes

    It’s a sad state of affairs that a fellow human being is more insufferable to talk to than an AI.

      Yeah, you’re right, you are insufferable and sad.

      Having said that:

      The amount of CO2 to store, depending on how far you want to go with removing all the CO2 humans have put in the atmosphere goes in the order of cubic kilometers. Humans have been, and continue to be busy beavers. Good luck with storing that in tanks.

      Storing it in geological formations may be possible in a limited fashion but since it would be in gas form there is a litany of problems with that if you want to be absolutely sure it won’t escape.

      Instead of bitching and moaning it may be more productive to just, you know, stay on subject.
