Carbon dumping should be called out
Carbon capture and storage, or carbon dumping, is absolutely a con trick.
As Peter Sainsbury rightly acknowledges, despite decades of trying, according to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis “not one single CCS project has ever reached its target CO2 capture rate”. And carbon dumping accounts for just 0.1 per cent of carbon pollution that enters the atmosphere each year. Pumping carbon dioxide back underground is hardly a planet stabilising proposition.
How about we stop digging the fossil fuels up in the first place?
Multinational corporations and the governments that subsidise and support them to continue to emit pollutants into our atmosphere should be called out.
