The truth about capturing CO2 to reverse climate change. Go to brilliant.org/Undecided you can sign up for free. And also, the first 200 people will get 20% off their annual premium membership. Carbon capture and storage is often brought up as a solution to climate change, but do we really need it, how much of an impact could it really make, and is it in fact just an excuse to keep burning fossil fuels ... letting heavy polluting industries off the hook? It's time to find out the truth.

Let me know what you think about carbon capture. And if you liked this video check out this one:

ah yes, carbon capture and storage: what the rainforests we're cutting down used to do

@jaymesdevine7737 3 жыл бұрын

Matt, now that you talked about carbon capture, I think that it would be interesting to compare this tech to planting trees. Thanks.

CO2 is not a problem...CO2 is necessary for life and responsible for the recent greening of earth.

@officialspock 3 жыл бұрын

Theres this thing which captures carbon and gives oxygen in return, its called trees, if only its easy to plant it... oh wait...

@adamlytle2615 3 жыл бұрын

I can understand skepticism about CCUS schemes, given the involvement of oil and gas companies... but one thing to consider in the longer term is that even if we electrify EVERYTHING, we will still have a whole bunch of excess carbon in the atmosphere from the last 200+ years of human activity. If we want the technology to pull it out of the air and put it to use in a way that keeps it out of the air, we'll need to keep developing these technologies.

From what I gathered, there was a study done where plant life does better where there is more CO2. So if this is true, we have plenty of room for more CO2 in our huge atmosphere. We need to be honest with ourselves and stop letting the power hungry politicians and media that helps them deceive the public.

Come on Matt, you used the same video clips all media does showing power plants emitting STEAM, that is not harmful! Every media site does this, even with nuclear, they show steam exhaust as if it is bad. It is not pollution, it is water vapor. CO2 can't be seen.

Spend a dollar to save a dime, or just plant some trees.

Your videos are great. Enjoy all the content. One small point of clarification and possible modification for the accuracy of your videos is around the portrayal of cooling towers for nuclear power plants as a source of air pollution. This is a really common mistake that people make.That stuff that looks like steam that's coming out of the coolant towers is simply that, steam. It is not any source of air pollution. Again, thanks for the video and I enjoy all of your content.

Plant trees...

I actually spent 5 yrs of my life researching (i.e. in the actual lab) carbon capture, back when it was called CCS - carbon capture and sequestration (at a conference I went to they said we should stop using sequestration as it is too fancy of a word for the general public to understand). We worked with a lot of the big (and small) companies in this field and even got a $8M DARPA grant for our work.

To the “just plant trees” group, no one is stopping you from planting trees while we work toward engineered solutions. It’s gonna be a multipronged approach to solve climate change. At this point I don’t see people or governments making difficult decisions to change their behavior (just incremental ones). Technology is the only pragmatic solution I see in coordination with incremental changes in energy production, farming, renewables, conservation, etc to solve the climate crisis.

We already have carbon capturing devices.

I've got a couple of thousand carbon capture machines on my land and they are zero energy usage, they also increase the oxygen level of the atmosphere, I have a couple of hundred more to "erect" in the next few weeks, they are called TREES, the most perfect carbon capture device known to man.

My first thought: Can't we just turn co2 into bricks?

@SmoothGefixt 2 жыл бұрын

What about BECCS (bio-energy carbon capture & storage)?? No need for carbon-capturing machines... nature provided us already with such, effective machine: trees. Tree biomass from sustainable forestry can be used to power electricity plants, etc and the carbon is then stored with the described storage techniques, creating a big negative sink. Besides capturing carbon this would also enhance biodiversity, store carbon in the forest itself and give many other ecosystem benefits on the contrary with carbon-capturing machines. Thanks for the video!

my thoughts on carbon capture: its great idea to reduce the impacts on the environment, however it will give people an excuse to keep on using fossil fuels..the mindset of people wont change to opt for cleaner energy sources..

@jflad8308 2 жыл бұрын

I really appreciate your just giving the facts…thoroughly. You relay information not in a gloom and doom or a denier way to where people can just take the info as it is without feeling politicized. We need more of this in the world. Good job!
