Profitable tree simulation

I wonder who profited from building a miniscule copy of all the trees and jungle cut down and burned? This is the reality of the environmental movement. Destroy nature then replace it with profit through industry, an industry that can never match or replace God's given natural filters.

The world’s largest carbon removal plant is here, and bigger ones are on the way

Well, I agree with you, but Iceland is the perfect place to build a CO2 scrubber, as there are not very many trees in Iceland to begin with, due to the cold temperatures and Viking deforestation centuries ago. Now, if we can use carbon capture, it can help make diamonds, and plastic (even though plastic is still bad for the environment), without any mining for gems or drilling for oil required. But yes, I do wish we planted more trees as a society. I planted 20 trees back in March, without even having to go outside, cos I gave twenty bucks to a tree planting organization with a high transparency rating.

I hear that they make a significant amount of their electricity from geothermal generation which would make them a great place to mine cryptocurrencies!
But making diamonds sounds even betterer!

Haha, yeah, geothermal electricity is pretty cheap in Iceland, but I agree with you, making diamonds is much better.

Darn, Climeworks is gonna waste the CO2 and store it underground, instead of making diamonds. Like bro, if one wants to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, make it into something useful (such as jet fuel), or something beautiful, such as diamonds. Now I have lost hope in this useless project. At least the Germans have plans to convert CO2 into jet fuel (electrofuel / e-kerosene): https://www.reuters.com/business/en...20-germanys-e-kerosene-needs-2026-2022-06-23/

Climeworks is harnessing Iceland’s geothermal power, while gearing up for megatonne capacity around the world.

It would also be good in the desert where I live. I believe that planting trees will help and maybe with the high CO2 the vegetation might thrive. Didn't Israel transform their desert to green?

Yeah, carbon capture would work well in the desert also, though I am not sure if the desert heat would impact the efficiency of the CO2 scrubbers. Israel did turn the desert into forests: Turning the Desert Green - Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael - KKL-JNF
