As I understand it, even if we stop 100% of greenhouse gas emissions right now, we’re past the tipping point of self-sustaining climate change. Meaning we absolutely need carbon capture in some form as well as stopping emissions. This isn’t the solution on its own but it is a necessary part of the solution.
I appreciate that there are people out there trying to sell this as the solution, but don’t let that distract from the actual importance of carbon capture.
I would welcome being corrected about self-sustaining climate change if I’m wrong about this. It would be a load off my mind.
