Reply to comment by Tenrath in Meet The World's Cleanest Fully Electric Car That Removes Carbon Dioxide From The Air by Anderson069

At this point carbon capture is more a gimmick than a feature. But the recycled materials are very nice, until you take a look how long those materials will last. Dunno if they can outlive aluminium and plastic.

Carbon capture itself is just bad, because it allows people to think that we don't need to reduce the carbon that is being released because it can just be captured anyways.

The only way that carbon capture makes sense is if we first stop putting carbon in the air to begin with, then we can focus on capturing the carbon that remains and isn't increasing.

Focusing on carbon capture just allows other people to pollute more.

Meanwhile according to the IPCC the only way we reach any of our climate goals is by using carbon capture.

Hmm, who to trust, the IPCC or reddit know it alls?
