As many politicians make new policies to try and combat the effect the of global warming, experts have stated that plans to trap carbon dioxide, known as carbon dioxide sequestration will not be an effective measure.

While plans for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power will help towards climate change in the long term, trapping carbon dioxide and storing it underground will have little effect. Researchers who have been looking into the speed of change in global warming have calculated that the heat energy in the atmosphere equates to only 6.6% of global warming whereas heat stored in the ground equates to a significant total of 31.5%

With these findings, governments across the globe will have to think again about a immediate solution to cutting emissions if we are going to slow down the effects of global warming.
