Can Carbon-Dioxide Removal Save the World?
CO2 could soon reach levels that, it’s widely agreed, will lead to catastrophe.
The New Yorker, 2017
Sobre o que é?
Rising CO2 levels will soon lead to “catastrophic” climate change. Can removing it avert disaster?
Recommendation
CO2 levels have reached a record high and could lead to disastrous climate change if left unchecked. Besides reducing emissions, it has now become necessary to remove the CO2 already in the atmosphere. New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert gives an informative and cautionary look at two technologies for CO2 removal, some of the major parties involved, and the challenges facing the technologies’ widespread application. getAbstract recommends this article to those who are interested in cutting-edge, world-saving technologies and who enjoy moderate weather.
