NEW: For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis. https://projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-capture-cant-solve-climate-change/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Climate #ClimateChange #Oil #Gas #Environment #Research #Science #Academia

For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis. There's no place to bury their pollutants. You can't feed it all to trees and mushrooms; not by a long shot; no matter how badly Big Oil corrupts #higherEd & #research #science Why Carbon Capture Can’t Conceivably Solve The Climate Collapse https://projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-capture-cant-solve-climate-change ⁨#News ⁨#Climate #ClimateChange #Oil⁩ ⁨#Gas⁩ ⁨#Environment⁩ ⁨#colleges #Academia⁩ #plutocracy #corruption #panicide
