The False Promise of Carbon Capture as a Climate Solution

Almost saying planting trees with high carbon sequestration would be the more cost-effective long term solution (eg: gingko biloba).

> It's the idea that we can still use fossil fuels as long as the carbon dioxide emitted is captured and stored in the ground.

What? There is already too much CO2 in the atmosphere for humans to live healthily. Fossil fuels have nothing to do with it; we will eventually need to develop technologies to reduce current CO2 levels no matter what.

I don't like the narrative that carbon capture is bad because the fossil fuel industry is advocating for it. Yes, they're doing so for the wrong reason, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an area that desperately needs lots of funding and research. The sooner we develop it the better.
