Burying CO2 may not be the answer

We've recently heard claims that capturing heat-trapping carbon dioxide from factory exhaust is going to save our environment. The captured CO2 would be entombed in porous rocks and buried beneath the earth. Does this sound like a safe alternative to you?

Well curiously enough, the WWF thinks so, and they're willing to fight for this type of environmental change to take place very soon. They say it's not an answer, but simply a method of buying time until something more effective can be created. Their argument is that it's better than nothing at this critical point. But many environmental groups, such as Greenpeace, are vehemently against this, calling it a scam and a way for more coal-burning power plants to be created under the veil of no newly harmful environmental impact.

I tend to agree with Greenpeace on this one. Locking away our toxicity hasn't worked for us before (see also overfilling landfills and nuclear waste storage). It only postpones the harmfulness for our future generations. That's certainly not saving the earth.
