In This Month’s Scientific American: "The Carbon Capture Fallacy"

I don’t yet have access to the full version of the article whose “teasers” are here, but I infer from its title that its reasoning is consistent with the position that Scientific American has taken on CCS (carbon capture and sequestration) over the years, i.e., that, for a blend of technological and economic reasons, it’s a fool’s errand.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ― Aldous Huxley
