Great post. I clicked through the links and found that the letter opposing carbon capture says that it's racist. They say that "CCS is not consistent with the principles of environmental justice" because it will "impose new pollution and safety hazards on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities already suffering the disproportionate and deadly impacts of environmental racism."
But it's not racist to ask developing countries to sacrifice prosperity in the hopes that it will make some tiny difference after we're dead.
