With regard to carbon capture, does this actually solve the wide issue of greenhouse emissions. I was under the impression that CO_2 is the MAIN greenhouse gas, however there are other gasses that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

So by removing CO_2 we solve part of the issue, only for cars, that are pumping out CO_2 they are also pumping out other gasses such as Oxides of Nitrogren and Sulful as well as carciogens such as Benzine, as well as particulates that are also dangerous to human health.

So how much does carbon capture actually solve the problem, when we just need to reduce these emissions, and plant more trees.

Or am i missing some important point here. ?

@zleap if we are to stop what is coming, carbon capture is part of the solution as we don't just need to stop polluting but have to reverse the damage we done.

You are correct that more than just CO2 is an issue and it does also need to be addressed to clean things up.

Will any of it change our future if we continue doing the damage? Nope.

Would stopping pollution and planting trees fix everything? Nope.

But it would make it possible for our other efforts to make a difference to our future.

Thanks for this, so it is just part of a wider solution. Which our idiot PM has decided to just ride over with a steamroller and allow more oil and gas.

I will ask about question in a new post.
