👉 Climate missiles, also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies or carbon removal systems, are advanced engineering solutions designed to mitigate climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes and power generation, then storing it securely underground or repurposing it. These systems aim to reduce the amount of CO2 entering the atmosphere, addressing the root cause of global warming. There are several types of climate missiles, including direct air capture (DAC), which extracts CO2 directly from the air; bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), which captures CO2 from biomass energy production; and ocean-based methods, such as ocean fertilization or direct injection of CO2 into deep-sea sediments. While still largely in development and deployment, climate missiles represent a critical component of the global strategy to achieve net-zero emissions and combat climate change.
