Why not bury waste biomass in abandoned coal mine tunnels? Return the carbon to where it came from in the first place. Instead of composting on the surface (which releases CO2), all that industrial agricultural waste - chaff, sawdust, corn stalks,potato peels, used cooking oil, etc - as well as PLASTICS - could all just be buried in existing tunnels, kilometers under the surface, or pumped down into fracking /oil wells along with or instead of the water. In a few decades (centuries?), the stuff will decompose anaerobically, and we'll have fresh "fossil" fuels to start the cycle over again if we like. In the meantime, we remove billions of tons of carbon from the surface. Anyone see any obvious problems with this approach?
Smoking cigarettes is harmless.... nobody gets sick after smoking for a year
thalidomide is harmless... "On October 1, 1957, the company launched thalidomide and began marketing it under the trade name Contergan. It was proclaimed a "wonder drug" for insomnia, coughs, colds and headaches...
In late 1959, it was noticed that peripheral neuritis developed in patients who took the drug over a period of time, and it was only after this point that thalidomide ceased to be provided over the counter.
...Despite the side effects, thalidomide was sold in pharmacies in Canada until 1962."

the industry doesn't turn on a dime due to adverse effects when there is money to be made
I propose that impostor syndrome sometimes has more to do with the system rather than the individual. A well-meaning and bright individual working within a fraudulent system will catch glimpses of the fraud: "things my superiors tell me don't quite make sense" - and blame themselves: "I guess I'm just not smart enough"
