Does carbon sequestration really work?

Terry Tamminen (Author & Environmental Policy Advisor) gives expert video advice on: What is a "fossil fuel"?; How does our use of fossil fuels cause global warming?; What are "carbon emissions"? and more...

Carbon sequestration has been experimented with for a number of years, and it works in the laboratory, but we're not 100 percent sure how well carbon sequestration works in real life, because it could be many years before we see some of that carbon we think was sequestered escaping back into the atmosphere. So, unless we have studies that cover many decades, we'll never know if the sequestration works. There are various methods that we think work better than others, but until we have long-term studies, we won't know for sure.
