Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•If we want to use Direct Air Captur to limit overall warming to 1.5°C, while emitting enough to reach 2.5°C, DAC would need to use something like 30% of all electricity consumed over the next 80 years2·3 天前Yes. By a lot. In almost all applications.
The problem is that the fossil fuels industry holds a lot of political power and uses it to block shifting off fossil fuels
