What positive steps are being taken towards stalling climate change? (lemmy.world)

Fear doesn't work, we've known this for decades. If we know what positive steps are being taken, then we can support those or perhaps build on them if you're able.

What about this?: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210310-the-trillion-dollar-plan-to-capture-co2 We know corporations are a big part of the issue. Are there ways they're being regulated?

That fear based, helpless feeling needs to be shot down when ever we see people spreading that. We need to take action, but no one is talking about what we, as a single household, can do. I'm not saying we alone can fix everything. What steps can we do and/or how can we support people who are doing the right thing?

I like this dude from your second link. Can the crushed rock be from locally recycled basalt or maybe there is no such thing?

“Greenhouse gas removal may well become necessary as we approach 2050, but we should not forget that it also raises profound ethical questions regarding our relationship with the natural environment. Its development should therefore be accompanied by the widest possible public debate as to potential risks and benefits.”
