UN Scientists Legitimized Carbon Capture, ProPublica Reports
Original: U.N. Scientists Legitimized Carbon Capture and Skewed Decades of Climate Policy
A ProPublica investigation examines how United Nations-affiliated climate scientists, notably Stanford energy researcher Sally Benson, helped legitimize carbon capture and storage as a major climate solution. The reporting argues this endorsement skewed decades of climate policy toward fossil-fuel-backed capture schemes rather than outright emissions cuts, drawing debate about the role of carbon capture in climate planning.
Why now: A new investigative report is challenging the scientific and policy foundations behind carbon capture's role in climate strategy.
