James Hansen Hits Carbon-Capture as Solution to Climate Change

Social crises of the 1970s were met with the
confident expectation human beings acting could
meet planetary challenges and create a better world.

Dr. James Hansen at Columbia is pursuing an effort to both educate and save human beings, many of whom appear to resent the effort.

Hansen has a new piece at the Climate Science Awareness site warning that an emergency crash planetary-wide project implementing massive carbon-capture infrastructure would result in "unbearable debt for young people," and presumably crush economies.

Hansen is the former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and author of Storms of My Grandchildren, (Bloomsbury, (2009)).

"(N)ew news on carbon capture costs provides no support for the notion that we can solve the climate problem without fossil fuel phase-out," concludes Hansen.

Do the younger folks a favor and read James Hansen, and act accordingly.
