Reply to comment by climeworks in The emerging climate tech sector will enjoy an 8.8 % growth rate over the next five years: tech companies that remove/reduce CO₂ emissions are “poised for strong continued growth,” reaching an expected value of $1.4tn by 2027 by climeworks
>We're at a point where reduction is not enough anymore. We need to remove emissions as well.
We're at that point because the investor class in the past didn't care about any of that stuff - and because it wasn't able to be profitable in the short term.
Now that it's becoming more and more obviously necessary, investment is shifting toward those technologies and they're becoming profitable - now that there's money to be made, the investor class is embracing the idea of doing something about climate change.
And an aspect of futurology is imagining a future that isn't more of the same thing where people only give a shit about a problem when solving it has economic benefit.
You're getting criticism here because people look at this and know that it's going to be used the same way offsets have been used and because this whole post is a sales pitch.
It's not even really about your product, it's that it's fucking depressing that our entire economic structure is built in a way that a problem even one that threatens the existence of society as we know it is all but ignored until solving it becomes profitable - then in comes the investor class, swooping in to save us from the problem that they created in the first place.

>Didn't Mexicans obliterate millions of natives by disease and war and then forcefully assimilate the rest to the point that the native identity no longer exists?
Ehhh, I'd really say that that was the doing of the Spanish - not quite Mexican people.
