I really wonder the same thing. I know I’m at a tail of the distribution, but I could see committing 150/mo of my own funds to sequestering co2.

I’ve heard it posited that for one or another reason climate change could create a dictatorial regime one or another way. I hope humanity figures out a way to pull our collective heads out of the sand and start doing stuff before anything like a dictator kicks up...




To the GP asking what's stopping us: 150 usd per month is a quarter of average wage here.


You're correct, but let's say the target is 1/10th of it, or $15/month, therefore affordable by many. Still, there's something that prevents us, as a society, from doing it.


Well I’ve seen at least one crowd fund project to sequester co2. It wasn’t particularly impressive scale though iirc.


There are sequestration projects out there already, as well as reforestation efforts. If you want to put your $150/mo to work today, you can!

One might also consider putting that $150 toward eliminating inefficiencies somewhere in the world -- subsidizing renewable power or improving fuel efficiency in some way.
