520 _a" 'These guys are wacko!' was earth scientist Sally Benson's initial reaction several years back when two prominent scientists gave a talk about an answer to global warming that sounded too good to be true. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels traps heat as it builds up in the atmosphere, and most scientists think the trend, if unchecked, bodes a scorching future. So why not catch the stuff before it goes up smokestacks, the speakers proposed? Why not simply bury it underground or in the ocean depths?" (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article discusses the potential effects of burying carbon dioxide--a process known as carbon sequestration--noting that this strategy may delay global warming.
