Obviously, this will probably never happen. In the best future for humanity, maybe we can drop our emissions enough to allow for such a thing. But more likely societal collapse

Just because you're too stupid to figure out how it works doesn't mean scientists are

I'm not sure I'd trust the marketing produced by a for-profit company trying to sell a solution.

Sell it?! Who are they selling science to? What would they even sell? They didn't patent the technology of putting carbonated water near rocks

It looks like they're planning to sell offsets:

At present, Carbfix does not have a carbon offsetting program for individuals and companies to offset their emissions. However, please check again in the near future!
