Can we bury climate pollution?

What happens after carbon is captured? In this special collaboration with How We Survive, Living Planet follows CO₂ from a cement factory to its final resting place more than a mile beneath the seabed. We investigate the promise, pitfalls and politics of a technology that could help tackle climate change - or prolong the fossil fuel era.

Is carbon removal a fantasy?

Every time you drive a car, heat your home or board a plane, carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere. A growing industry says it can pull that CO₂ back out again. Living Planet reporter Sam Baker visited two companies behind direct air capture to see whether this much-hyped technology is on the verge of a breakthrough - or headed for a reality check.

How this super pollutant became as ‘lucrative as cocaine’

At some point today, you’ve probably used an appliance that relies on HFCs, also known as refrigerants. They're many times more potent than CO2, which is why the EU, US and others are phasing them out. Planet A reporter Tim Schauenberg went undercover to explore the black-market boom in these gases now worth hundreds of millions of euros in Europe alone.

Europe’s chemical recycling gamble

A new generation of chemical recycling plants promises to turn hard-to-recycle plastics back into new packaging and keep waste out of landfills and incinerators. But as Europe pours millions into the technology, critics are questioning whether it can really deliver on those promises.

The Feldheim experiment: The village that took back its power

So what can the rest of the world learn from the German village that decided to go it alone?

Sad Omission

Sad-faced

I really enjoyed the cost of climate change series. However I am always frustrated that these conversations never touch on animal agriculture. It’s a huge contributor to greenhouse gases and it’s the leading cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss. Also it’s one thing that most individuals can actually do to make a significant difference. Please please talk about this because people can and should reduce consumption of animal products!!

Water IS woowoo

I mostly enjoyed this episode until the conversation turned toward the sacredness of water as being woowoo and how there might be a ‘danger’ in that. Water, that arrived here from deep space and makes ALL Life possible, IS woowoo. It IS mythic and worthy of goddess like status. If You care about Life, your own Life, it behooves one to honor the sacredness of water, not only a resource, a precious substance more valuable than gold actually.
