Climeworks builds facilities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere. They claim that the one pictured here, called Mammoth, which resides in Hellisheiði, Iceland, will filter 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide out of the air per year.
One has to wonder what the rest of the world is thinking about the upcoming U.S. presidential election , but it must go something like this:
Here’s a man with a dead worm in his brain making ridiculous promises about what he’ll do if elected U.S. president.
