MIT May Have Just Developed The Ultimate Climate Technology

<p>Over the past century or so, we humans have&nbsp;inflicted&nbsp;a lot of damage to this precious planet&rsquo;s climate systems. In fact, we are still harming it at a record pace, with some of the highest levels of carbon emissions ever seen. As such, if we want to avoid a climate catastrophe, we not only need to reduce our emissions as quickly as possible but also repair the damage we have already done. For this reason,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/08/this-is-how-carbon-capture-could-help-us-meet-key-paris-agreement-goals" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">carbon capture will be a vital part of our efforts to save the planet</a>. There is only one problem: it is far too expensive! Right now, it costs around&nbsp;<a href="https://climeworks.com/subscriptions" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">$1,000 to permanently remove a tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere</a>, meaning that completely&nbsp;<a href="https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">offsetting our emissions would cost $35 trillion annually</a>, which is simply impossible. Luckily, this could all soon change thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://news.mit.edu/2023/carbon-dioxide-out-seawater-ocean-decorbonization-0216" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MIT and their new astonishing ocean-based carbon capture technology</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/predict/mit-may-have-just-developed-the-ultimate-climate-technology-37c10791e69b"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
