they're calling it the "Cope Chart"
[Embedded chart image: "Carbon Capture Capacity" — line chart, y-axis in megatons (labeled 2,000 and 4,000 megatons), x-axis years 2010–2040. Line labeled "Projections" (teal, multiple projection lines) rising steeply from ~2020 to over 4,000 megatons by 2040. Line labeled "Actual carbon storage" (dark red/maroon) staying nearly flat near zero from 2010–2025.]

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
The chart itself is the payload — steep upward "Projections" lines contrasted against a nearly flat "Actual carbon storage" line, visually illustrating the gap between forecast and reality. The quoted tweet's thumbnail shows a similar chart style for solar power, implying a contrast (solar projections tracked reality; carbon capture projections did not).
