Extract : “For more than two centuries starting with the first industrial revolution, we have been running the CO2 clock counterclockwise—burning fossil fuels that were accumulated for millenaries, releasing gigantic amounts of carbon dioxide, and literally creating the Anthropocene.(9) It is (more than) time to run the clock clockwise, to recycle and reuse the CO2 in a responsible and useful way that would benefit and be accessible to everyone on earth.(10)”.
