Actually, I think it would be a blessing if a way was found to make money by removing carbon from the air.

@beforewisdom We'll have to pay that with our taxes. It'll be like for garbage collection. People make a lot of money from garbage disposal.

@quantumquia

I was not referring to pollution credits or government funded efforts.

I meant an unsubsidized private sector way for private organizations of make profits pulling carbon out of the air.

@beforewisdom Oh, I see! That would be awesome, but I'm still afraid that at a certain point it will be something like the second law of thermo that forbids any gain to arise "spontaneously" 😮‍💨

@beforewisdom They’re called carbon taxes.

It moves money from carbon production and consumption to projects that reduce it. At the same time that it deters the creation of more carbon pollution, it could be used to fund the solutions. Like offering rebates on electric vehicles, and funding R&D on carbon capture projects, or other moves like planting trees, buying and protecting rainforests, etc.

@JustinDerrick I know what carbon taxes and pollution credits are. Those things don't make money, they save money.

If there was a way to *profit*, *make money* for pulling carbon out of the air many organizations would race to do it.
