Natural carbon capture through ecosystem restoration and better human choices can protect the climate better than technological fixes.
After the hottest Northern Hemisphere summer on record, with record high temperatures around the world, Pope Francis recently exhorted the developed world to act faster on climate change. An overhaul of wealthy lifestyles is in order, he said, and technological fixes are not the answer.
CCS is expensive, energy-intensive, and risky, and yet companies that adopt these technologies can claim 'green' credentials even though their operations may destroy some of the natural processes that sequester carbon effectively. And to add a final insult to this litany of injuries, so far the most common use for carbon captured through mechanical means is to pump it underground—where it facilitates the extraction of more fossil fuels. And yet even the IPCC has bought into this scam.
