Climate change: 'Magic bullet' carbon solution takes big step

Why are fossil fuel companies investing in this process?

"Carbon Engineering's direct air capture technology has the unique capability to capture and provide large volumes of atmospheric CO2," said Occidental Petroleum's Senior Vice President, Richard Jackson, in a statement. "It's a huge concern," Tzeporah Berman, international programme director for Stand dot earth, told BBC News.

"I think there's a real danger that people will see this technology as a magic bullet and not cut back their carbon," said Shakti Ramkumar, a student at the University of British Columbia , who is active in climate change protests.

And leftist climatista twats hate the idea 'We have a moral responsibility to reduce our consumption on a large scale. We need to reflect deeply on how we live our lives.. ..and fairness, so we can all live a good life.' For them, CC was always just a vehicle to coerce people.

if this is to become a reality-oh what a mess we made in the 80's

BBCPolitics tree, someone should try a tree

I would recommend using the technology from PowerHouseEG it is a closed system so very little CO2 is produced nd can created enoguh Hydrogen to fuel 200 cars. Plus it gets no Government funding so yourtaxes are not being used.

You can now sell it to MPs, make a fortune, and spend the rest of your life flying around the world to exotic locations.

Question: would this process not release oxygen? If so, wouldnt that be worse than juat removing the carbon essentially?

I can't take any of these stories seriously if they don't address where the system inputs (energy and chemicals) are coming from. If energy isn't from renewables and chemicals aren't from carbon-neutral processes, then I doubt this is any kind of climate change solution.

Climate change is a hoax

It's so strange that nobody is talking about this more It's a solution to this climate disaster everyone is banging on about day and night It literally works!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 magic bullet 😂😂😂😂😂😂

CO2 removal is good but depending on that and still using fossil fuels isnt the right way forward

wouldn't hurt to see if it works and scale.

God forbid we deal with the real issue instead of longshot, bite-sized magic bullets

Magic because it is bullshit.
