carbon capture and storage
Carbon capture is the fossil fuel giants’ plan to keep extracting
Attempting to remove CO2 from the atmosphere would block a real climate transition by Dru Jay As the climate crisis deepens, governments and corporations are putting more and more stock in carbon capture technologies, which aim to remove carbon dioxide from...
Using forests to curb climate change threatens human rights
by Fred Pearce (Thomson Reuters Foundation News) Trees offer ways to help achieve "negative emissions", but what does that mean for forest communities? The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change was a landmark the world rightly applauded. Its pledge to limit global...
Nature spotlights deep skepticism about bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
by Steven T. Corneliussen (Physics Today) To mitigate climate change, has the planet “gambled its future on the appearance in a puff of smoke of a carbon-sucking fairy godmother”? During the Paris climate summit late last year, European policy analyst Oliver Geden’s...
Talks in the city of light generate more heat
Rather than relying on far-off negative-emissions technologies, Paris needed to deliver a low-carbon road map for today, argues Kevin Anderson in Nature. (A longer version of this article can be found here.) The climate agreement delivered earlier this month in Paris...
