The Carbon Capture Fantasy

About this episode

Using experimental technology to pull gigatons of carbon out of the air and bury it deep beneath the Earth sounds like a bad sci-fi plot point. If things don’t change soon, it also might be one of our only options.


Guest: Clive Thompson, journalist and author of Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World


Host: Lizzie O’Leary
