ClimateAdam | Can we really suck up Carbon Dioxide? @ClimateAdam | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Is carbon dioxide removal - aka "negative emissions" - going to save us from climate change? Or is it just a dangerous distraction from the action we need - cutting fossil fuels and building renewables? The truth is somewhere in between - we're going to need to remove some amounts of carbon dioxide, but we can't rely on negative emissions to solve all our climate change problems. So what are the technologies behind the headlines, and what do they mean for our future?
