Fallacy 13: Carbon capture provides a viable solution to global warming
Description
This podcast episode considers the potential flaws and benefits of carbon capture technologies. We discuss the challenges facing carbon capture projects, including: the financial costs, implications for renewable energy, transporting captured carbon and the difficulties of disposal. The capability to capture carbon is one of the foundation stones of strategies to achieve Net Zero, and governments are committing billions to support carbon capture technologies. Could these funds be used more effectively? What percentage of global GDP would be required to capture all global CO2 emissions? Does a misplaced belief in carbon capture result in governments failing to address the fundamental causes of global warming? As usual, we try to find the light-hearted aspects of a serious topic.
