False Promises: Why carbon capture and storage won’t fix our climate crisis.

I’m a little too self aware to enjoy life and a little too delusional to give up

YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.
