The US is investing more than $1 billion in carbon capture, but big oil is still involved: 1PointFive is helping oversee one plant in Texas. It also has direct ties to one of the world's largest fossil fuel producers.

Knusper,

“1PointFive’s mission is to reduce atmospheric CO2 and help curb global temperature rise to 1.5°C by 2050 in alignment with Paris Agreement targets,”

Fucking hell, when even your organisation name is propaganda. This is what would need to happen for that +1.5°C target:

Projection for Global Warming showing that the +1.5°C target would require halving emissions until 2030.

No credible scientist still believes in us hitting that. Not the optimistic ones either.
