At last year's Glasgow COP26 meetings on the climate crisis, U.S. envoy and former U.S. secretary of state John Kerry stated that solutions to the climate crisis will involve “technologies that we don't yet have” but are supposedly on the way. Kerry's optimism comes directly from scientists. You can read about these beliefs in the influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Integrated Assessment Models, created by researchers.
The IPCC models, for instance, depend heavily on carbon capture and storage, also called carbon capture and sequestration . Some advocates, including companies such as ExxonMobil, say CCS is a proven, mature technology because for years industry has pumped carbon dioxide or other substances into oil fields to flush more fossil fuel out of the ground. But carbon dioxide doesn't necessarily stay in the rocks and soil.
When the super-rich control the science, only profit matters. Patents on new technologies are far more attractive to the greedy.
Yes, science should focus on finding unique novel alternatives that will be so much cheaper an more efficient that nobody will think about using fossil fuels again. The energy companies would be the first to invest in a profitable alternative. That is the fastest way to go.
Grow more trees..how is this so complicated ?
Co2 removal can be done pretty easy with trees. Make deals with Brazil to stop cutting down the Amazon.
