Indeed. The CO~2~ isn't digested by humans, so it fizzes right back out of the drink or gurgles out from the drinker.

Then again, the headline is somewhat misleading as the product the article covers isn't for carbon sequestration. Instead, it's to provide consumers of CO~2~ like breweries with a reliable and supposedly low carbon alternative for their CO~2~ gas needs. Normally this CO~2~ would be a waste product from refineries, but these incur more inefficiencies due to transportation. Also, recently the refineries have been opting to sequester their CO~2~ instead of selling it (which is a good thing IMO).

I'm reporting all of this from the contents of the article; I haven't verified any of the claims.

Leo Vader's Products: Now For Men!

The research article cited by Ajit Niranjan is worth consulting directly, because a concept brought up by Berland and Leroutier, the researchers, that hasn't been worked into the Guardian article is intersectionality.

Indeed climate change is a systemic issue which requires systemic solutions therefore focusing on what we as individuals can do is shortsighted. However, it's also important not to discount the part individuals play, collectively, in the systems that power the climate crisis. I believe observing the disparity whereby men consume more due to their consumption habits is fascinating! Why do men consume in ways that are more damaging to the environment? Perhaps the corporations producing the vast majority of carbon emissions are actually capitalizing off of the gender dynamics in our society by marketing meat and cars as manly. In doing so, they increase profits, and we all suffer the environmental and social consequences.

To paint an accurate picture of the mechanisms leading to humanities carbon emissions, it's important not to discount the role of power structures that are seemingly unrelated at first glance. More often than not, those power structures are used by the instigators of the climate crisis.

I'll take [action for slim chance of success] over [inaction for guaranteed failure] every time.

I don't get all these "geo-engineering" magic bullets. Capitalists are taking carbon out of the ground and putting it into the air and oceans. The carbon in the air leads to warming, and the carbon in the ocean leads to acidification. Both of these things are disastrous. We need to stop the capitalists. Leave the carbon in the ground, where it belongs. Simple as

Awesome! I wouldn't call this "releasing moisture" though which, to me, implies a physical change. It's straight up providing the activation energy for a chemical decomposition.

I wonder if any judge/jury is going to find the large oil conglomerates liable for trillions in damages.

Liable for destroying our world (and for what?)

I love this guide! It's full of details I never would have thought of if asked to prepare a food-sharing before reading it. It's also a quick read. Concise and informative.
