The article seems to suggest that turning to carbon capture is our best option currently. If that is the case then what is the best carbon capture technology we have right now and could it even make a dent?

The best tech we currently have is bio-engineered algae. It won't make a dent unless we can farm lakes full of the stuff.

That's scary.

Probably trees.

I wonder if that's only true if we grow them then never cut them down. Because if the full lifecycle ends with combustion or another CO2 releasing process then it may offer no benefit.

We can turn them into charcoal and bury the coal. That's a pretty stable form of carbon storage and you get a bit of energy out of the process, e.g. in the form of wood-gas.

We can build a lot of shit out of wood.
