752 #ClimateSolutions #CarbonCapture #MoneyScam ?

I get very very anxious when solutions costs vast amounts of money with no guaranteed outcome.
If #BigOil and #BigMoney want to rid themselves of cash so badly, there are better ideas.
Besides
it means a capitulisation to ideas like #ConsumeLess and a more frugal living.
Do you really need all that plastic and electronic gadgets that need the exploitation of the #EArth and people?

But lets just have a think:

Carbon Capture and Storage has been heralded by some as the 'silver bullet' to enable a smooth transition to renewable energy while preventing existing greenhouse gas emissions reaching the atmosphere, or even, in the case of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), actually sucking CO2 back out of the air. But recent studies have shown these to be a completely false economy and yet another ruse by the fossil fuel industry. So, who should we believe?"

Which tree species fix the most carbon?

EurekAlert!Which tree species fix the most carbon?To answer this important question, an international consortium of scientists, coordinated by INRAE and Bordeaux Sciences Agro, studied the growth of 223 tree species planted in 160 experimental forests in different parts of the world. They found that conservative species, which are the most efficient at conserving their resources (nutrients, water, energy), generally grow faster in forests. These findings, which are available to forest managers and were published in Nature, highlight the central role of local conditions in tree growth.

#Peatlands' potential to capture carbon upgraded as temperatures rise

eurekalert.org/news-releases/1 #science #ClimateCatastrophe #carbonCapture #environment #ecology #wetlands

EurekAlert!Peatlands' potential to capture carbon upgraded as temperatures riseAccording to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher1 and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity2. This conclusion was reached by basing the work on in situ experiments and the various predictive scenarios established by the IPCC. It is the first model to quantify the potential compensation of future CO2 emissions by peatlands on a global scale. This result lifts the veil on a currently ambiguous section of the terrestrial carbon cycle3 and its alterations by anthropogenic climate change. The associated study is published in Nature Climate Change.

💎 New England's salt marshes store 10 million cars' worth of carbon—and add another 15,000 cars' worth every year

phys.org/news/2025-02-england-

phys.orgNew England's salt marshes store 10 million cars' worth of carbon—and add another 15,000 cars' worth every yearIn the race to combat global climate change, much attention has been given to natural carbon sinks: those primarily terrestrial areas of the globe that absorb and sequester more carbon than they release. While scientists have long known that coastal salt marshes are just such a sink for "blue carbon," or carbon stored in the ocean and coastal ecosystems, it has been difficult to get an accurate estimate of just how much they store, and so most of the focus has been on terrestrial sinks such as forests and grasslands.
