It's Note to Self's 5-pack on climate change.

How we can do better as individuals collectively with our technology choices and our habits.

With David Bielo, who refresher is the science curator for Ted.

He's contributor to Scientific American and he is the author of the unnatural world.

He is also great at explaining things.

This is episode 4, although you don't have to listen in order, but if you are, so far

we've thought about how to cool our homes more kindly, the amazing powers of whale poop,

and how to give our plants superpowers.

And all of those things?

Basically, there are different ways to control CO2 in the atmosphere, which we must do soon.

So here's another way, bearing it.

But of course, it has a fancy word.

How does it relate to the environment, David?

So sequestration is a term that scientists use for basically bearing CO2 for geologically

relevant periods of time.

So not bearing it for like a day or a month or a year, but for hundreds of years, thousands

of years, millions of years, so that it's effectively taken out of the carbon equation

that is not going in our favor at present as a result we have global warming.

Now is that different than like a landfill?
