The Illusion of Carbon Capture's Effectiveness

Carbon capture technology is often presented as a viable solution to reduce global emissions; however, it may only address a minimal fraction of emissions, estimated at around 2%. Experts highlight that despite significant investment and focus, the effectiveness of carbon capture in actually mitigating climate change is dubious. The technology has garnered billions in taxpayer funding, raising the question of whether this money could be better spent on more effective climate actions. Understanding the limited capacity and the exaggerated claims surrounding carbon capture is crucial for evaluating its role in climate policy.
