Die Fähigkeit der Erde, Carbon zu speichern

Don’t worry, I’m sure our politicians will fix this issue quickly, effectively, and in a way that supports working families.

>Researchers report that Earth can safely store around 1,460 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂) — a number much lower than the 10,000–40,000 GtCO₂ often cited in previous studies.

>At present, carbon capture and storage technologies remove only 49 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, with a further 416 million tonnes per year in planned capacity, say the authors of the study. But to stay within the Paris target, annual carbon storage would need to rise to 8.7 GtCO₂ by mid-century — a 175-fold increase over the next three decades.

I think most of us have known all along that technological options were not going to be particularly helpful.
