    Probably not. This sort of project is used by bad-faith actors, and naive policymakers, to justify not taking urgent action to curtail emissions. There’s a good case for saying it would be better if this sort of piffling demonstration didn’t exist, because then it would be harder to delay action on emissions

      Unfortunately the reality is that if we do not figure out how to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, we are 100% going to breach a tipping point for CO2. We crossed the line of being able to stop this with CO2 reductions decades ago.
