The US is investing more than $1 billion in carbon capture, but big oil is still involved: 1PointFive is helping oversee one plant in Texas. It also has direct ties to one of the world's largest fossil fuel producers.

Knusper,

“1PointFive’s mission is to reduce atmospheric CO2 and help curb global temperature rise to 1.5°C by 2050 in alignment with Paris Agreement targets,”

Fucking hell, when even your organisation name is propaganda. This is what would need to happen for that +1.5°C target:

Projection for Global Warming showing that the +1.5°C target would require halving emissions until 2030.

No credible scientist still believes in us hitting that. Not the optimistic ones either.

Some want us to believe that somehow only recently came into the mainstream. This is false and easy to prove. Here's two screenshots from Mobile Police Patlabor, an from 1988 which I watched as a kid.

We knew, everybody knew. It's just that the industry lobbied hard for politicians to look the other way.

Another screenshot from Mobile Police Patlabor (1988). The subtitles read: ... the bay from rising sea levels caused by the greenhouse effect.

Oil: A Beginner's Guide, 2e

The science and politics behind the world’s most controversial resource. Without oil, there would be no globalisation, no plastic, little transport, and a global political landscape that few would recognise. It is the lifeblood of the modern world, and humanity’s dependence upon it looks set to continue for decades to come.
