The article highlights one possible problem with carbon capture: that we can't capture enough. But there is another problem with it. It's still a solution within the system of intense, worldwide consumerism. Therefore, if more carbon is captured, it will make fossil fuel use more attractive and so people will use more of it to consume more of Earth's other resources -- especially since carbon capture reduces the incentive to develop other green technologies. I expect carbon capture to be much like other 'green incentives' like recycling and driving electric vehicles. Stuff is done but the CO2 keeps on goin', now at around 420ppm. We need a new dimensions to these solutions: a more active attack against the capitalistic system that causes these emissions in the first place.
