Quotes
- New carbon-sucking technologies ... are so far from scalability at present that they are best described as fantasies of industrial absolution.
- There are people here who want to just continue business as usual. And the great facade is: 'Oh no, we'll be able to [use carbon capture to] capture everything.' . . . No scientist tells me we can capture it all. Can't do it. Can we capture some? Yes, and by the way, I'm for it. [It's up to the oil and gas industry] to show us they can capture all those emissions, to tell us whether it's really going to be part of the future. But don't lie to people and tell them it's green. And don't pretend to people that that's the main alternative.
- John Kerry, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, speaking at the COP28 UN climate summit in Dubai, UAE, as quoted in "John Kerry warns against carbon capture's 'great facade' as a climate cure-all: At the COP28 climate talks, Saudi Arabia is among the countries arguing carbon scrubbing technology can replace the need to eliminate fossil fuel use."
