The whole idea of carbon sequestration is a bit of a game isn’t it? Governments play at trading credits with each other, they gently cajole (who said manipulate?) figures and statistics to meet targets. Then they have endless meetings where they agree to move any targets that they still can’t meet. Why are playing this game?
It’s like a lottery pool on the future of the planet. If we hit the jackpot, then yay, congratulations, the planet continues and we all survive. Yet still we get to be just as selfish as before.
If we lose, then who do we blame? The people who were in power at the time of virtually no progress with the endless game playing?
