← Back to context Comment by WalterBright 18 hours ago Sorry, that's just verbal sleight of hand. There's no such thing as "green" CO2. 5 comments WalterBright Reply shmeeed 5 hours ago Yes there is. I used to fall for the same lie, but it's just not true. It's a question of system boundaries.Green CO2 was recently (in geological terms) captured from the atmosphere into biomass, that's why its release is basically net zero.Fossil CO2 hasn't been part of the atmosphere in eons (back in e.g. the Crustacean, the CO2 ratio was many times higher), so its release is additive.

Everything you do has a carbon footprint, you know, haven't you heard? Everything. antonvs 9 hours ago Have you always had difficulty with abstraction?
