Just a simple question...

When they mention 'carbon capture' why don't they actually take the pure carbon and make stuff out of it?
Instead of using the term as it's sounds more PC than 'hiding the CO2 under the rug"

There's research underway to do that. For example:

Elemental carbon (also called black carbon) has lots of uses. Apparently graphite (carbon) batteries are looking promising, so imagine if we could take all that black carbon and make batteries.

You did not watch the video did you? Rhetorical question, of course you didn't. Tucker never mentioned anything about driving a car. That would be you. You are ridiculously trying to lump the automobile into the same class as the private jet. YOU are the one mentioning them in the same sentence, like they have something in common. They don't. They are light years apart. There are an estimated 1.4 billion cars on the planet. Many of those cars spend their time transporting people for pay, like taxi cabs. Many people who do not own a car ride in one every year. There are 23,241 private jets on the planet. Private jets are less then .00166 percent of automobiles. Billions of people ride in automobiles every year. Thousands of people ride in private jets every year. Not only has the vast majority of people on the planet never rode in a private jet, they do not personally know anyone who has. That is how rare private jet flights are.

The typical car will emit 4.6 tons of carbon dioxide in a year. A single 10 minute flight of Floyd Mayweather's private jet produced one ton of carbon dioxide. Some rich douchebag's private jet generated one ton in ten minutes. The average car will generate a little over four times that in an entire year. If anything deserves the sarcastic eyeroll emoji its your pathetic attempt to put the private automobile in the same class as the private jet.

Tucker never said shit about the automobile, that was you. He called out the hypocrites who do not practice what they preach. NO ONE who gives a shit about the environment (or claims that they do )has any business riding around in a private jet. NO ONE!!! Period!!! Full stop!!! So stop putting words in Tucker's mouth, and stop defending the assholes destroying our environment by riding in private jets just because you have some personal beef with Tucker's politics.

Perhaps Tucker Carlson isn't the most reliable source on anything, especially Climate Change.

Even if he does have a point, that credibility shouldn't outweigh all the other things he did, likely yesterday.

My doctor told me to avoid Tucker at all costs.
