As should be known in a community of programmers, it's misguided to blame tools from their potential abuses. Every single tool for the ecological transition can be misused for green-washing, from solar panels to electric cars to carbon taxes.

Let's welcome and improve the tools, while keeping an eye on how people use them.

Not every thing we do has to solve every problem immediately and entirely. Incremental progress is good.

I mean donating money to CarbFix for example is not exactly doing nothing?

Giving money is doing something.

Giving money is making yourself feel good. Whether that actually achieves anything is another question altogether.

But giving money to achieve something is difficult because you need to invest time and effort to investigate where to give and to whom.
