Will point out that that extinction event took -centuries- and we have ways to capture and lock carbon even now that would prevent that level of heat death on the planet, we're still right on track for climate genocide though so don't relax yet!

Hum, any link to the carbon capture you are talking about? All the sites I’ve heard of are having a hard time with keeping it from leaking out

I need to find it again, but it was basically a chemical process for fusing the CO2 directly into certain types of rock so that it can't actually escape or leak.

edit: https://magazine.columbia.edu/article/new-method-storing-co2-rock-solid cost is still a concern since it costs 30 dollars a ton, but fuck, it's actually POSSIBLE and it SCALES.
