negative emission
A modern alchemy that captures carbon dioxide from the air only to inflate it into a ledger of moral credits. Under the guise of offsetting emissions, it erases someone’s guilt on paper while quietly burying the true debt to the future. In truth, it’s a costly greenhouse sandbox that trades clean air like a commodity. Behind the noble banner of carbon neutrality, we continue our commerce in the very breath we share. Ultimately, we only vanish the visible smoke while the fires of consumption rage on unchecked.
