Even if it were possible, simply eliminating carbon emissions from fossil fuel production would not address the myriad impacts of fossil fuel production faced primarily by Indigenous and front-line communities. There are many, many concerns with carbon capture and storage technology ( and we go over them in our repor t).

As the world grapples with the consequences of climate change, many scientists have begun to face up to the realities of their carbon emissions. In the prototype stage 69% of emissions are expected to be from digital technologies, compared with 27% from travel and 4% from “hardware equipment”, such as manufacturing the radio antennas.

Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen approximately 47 percent since 1750, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Strategies for capturing carbon from fossil fuel power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere, have long lingered on the sidelines. from 1990–2019.
