Summary

The math is clear: lowering greenhouse gas emissions is not enough to keep the earth below 1.5 degrees Celsius of post-industrial warming. The latest science states that actively removing carbon from the atmosphere — storing it in rocks, soil, trees, and even turning it into products like concrete — is critical to restore the carbon and energy balance. To keep our planet from dangerous levels of warming, we’ll need to go carbon negative. Which natural and technological approaches are the most promising? Three experts and host Greg Dalton discuss the necessary negatives for a stable climate. Guests: Noah Deich, Executive Director, Carbon180 Diana Donlon, Director, Soil Centric Mike Biddle, Managing Director, Evok Innovations Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:01.0	Carbon emissions have been demonized, and arguably so, for their contribution to global warming.
1:08.6	But Noah Deich of Carbon 180 says carbon gets a bad rap.
1:13.6	It's not inherently bad. It's just bad when it's in the atmosphere and too great of a quantity. But if we can figure out through innovation how to turn that waste back into a valuable product,
1:19.6	we can take that liability and turn it back into an asset.
1:22.6	Today on Climate One, we'll hear about some of the ways that carbon can be captured and sequestered.

1:33.3	But that's not the whole story.
