Repairing the Climate: A Plea for Carbon Capture

Climate change is triggered by a too high concentration of greenhouse gases in the air, carbon dioxide in particular, primarily originating from fossil fuel-burning.Since such burning will not stop any time soon, the concentration will undoubtedly rise further, exacerbating climate change.There is no escape from this. That is where carbon capture comes in: direct air capture (DAC) scrubs the surplus carbon dioxide out of the air for actually lowering this concentration.At the same time emission levels must be drastically lowered by fitting point-source emitters with carbon capture installations.This book sets out the case for such carbon capture, which is a must, without which the climate cannot be repaired.
