Study: Carbon Storage Potential Far Less Than Industry Estimates

Imagine trying to store all the air pollution from cars and factories underground to help stop the planet from getting too warm.

Scientists have looked at this idea, called carbon storage, but found some surprising things.

They learned that the amount of pollution we can safely store is much less than what the companies thought.

It's like having a smaller storage room than you thought.

While it can still help, it won't fix everything.

It's more important to stop creating pollution in the first place.

The scientists also thought about safety, like preventing leaks or triggering earthquakes.

Therefore, this solution should focus on cleaning up pollution we can’t avoid.
