@DocMcStuffin fwiw, this is NOT news, why is it in the NEWS feed on the fediverse?
@ghostalmedia why is NEWS boosting this sort of content? It is a comment (no doubt profoundly wise) out of context and is just clogging up fediverse feeds.
@Knickknack I volunteer with openaircollective.cc - focused on carbon dioxide removal, speaking of emerging sectors. It is all volunteer, and a good way to follow the burgeoning climate change mitigation realm. I’m using a lot of what I learned over the years in business to develop a wiki there: https://openairforum.org Come by some time!
@Knickknack @realChem I graduated in chemical engineering back in '83 and found myself in wastewater treatment consulting. I gradually transitioned to industrial wastewater and then hazardous waste remediation. It was a good gig! Retired in 2001, so it has probably all changed quite a bit. Good luck to you!
@realChem I retired from being a chemical engineer in the environmental remediation of hazardous wastes and petroleum. Went sailboat cruising, and stopped along the way to teach high school chemistry four years. Now I volunteer with OpenAir Collective working on CO2 removal (from atmosphere, not point sources - later is called “capture” instead of “removal” for some reason). Without chemicals, nothing would exist!
@bug well, it turns out lemmy and mastodon are not quite as compatible as hoped. I subscribed to a lemmy community from mastodon, and every comment to every news items shows in Mastodon as though the community owner boosted it. I mistakenly thought the comments were being boosted by moderators of the news community - totally my bad. I have unsubscribed now until some day when they fix that (for each news item I was getting that I wanted, I was also getting about ten comments - out of context in time order - with the rest of my feed; not a good user experience!)
