UN: ‘Cutting carbon emissions not enough; Suck Co2 from the air and bury it’

SONBHADRA, INDIA - NOVEMBER 23: Smoke rises from the stacks of a coal-burning thermal power plant on November 23, 2021 in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh India. India is rapidly transitioning to renewables, investing in widespread solar and wind installations, though it still remains reliant on coal for about 70% of its energy needs, media reports said. India's heavy reliance on coal was a key issue at the recent Cop26 conference. Many coal-producing regions within the country remain essential for the functioning of the economy, employing many thousands of laborers, though they have been criticized for what activists say is their contribution to air and groundwater pollution, as well as for the detrimental effects coal-related pollution is said to have on respiratory diseases.
