Real Climate Solutions Are Beneath Us

by Peter Reiners 2 May 20252 May 2025

It’s time to accept that durable subsurface carbon storage, along with emissions reductions, must be part of the plan to mitigate the effects of climate change—and geoscience must play a central role.

Dozens of ice cores—long, thin cylinders—are stored on a metal shelf and seen from the front, so they look like circles.
