We’ve had our differences with the Daily Mail down the years, but on climate change: well, they’re having a good war. Despite the prejudices of a section of their readers, they find ways to drill the message home. This is a crisis. And here are some ways it might be coped with. In this spirit the well-informed Jonathan Chadwick covers a new UK initiative to capture CO2 and store it underground as carbonates in old volcanic rocks, with which these islands are well-endowed. James’ story is breezily written, and packed with good facts: so we will urge you to click on the link [1] to enjoy it for yourself.
But can we, dare we, steal a little credit for ourselves from James’ article? Because one of the names he checks in his piece is Climeworks, that marvellous pioneering out fit of carbon capturers we mentioned ourselves(LSS 4 6 20; 9 3 23) Now, we can all debate the ways of dealing with climate change, and what changes we need to make in our lifestyles or in our technologies. But all of us are basically in agreement. Rational thought and an ability to accept facts suggest there really is a problem That puts many of us on the same side.
