You've probably heard about carbon capture as a potential climate solution, but it's far more complex than just 'sucking CO2 out of the air.' You'll learn why this technology is both critically important and highly controversial in the fight against global warming.
With global temperatures rising and CO2 levels hitting a record 424 parts per million in 2023, simply reducing emissions isn't enough; we also need ways to remove existing carbon from the atmosphere.
Scientists predict that even if we reach net-zero emissions by 2050, we'll still need to remove billions of tons of CO2 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
