Do we 'bury our heads in the sand' or bury our CO2?

Dr Linda Stalker.

The scientist in charge of the geo-sequestration research arm of the CSIRO says the world can't "bury its head in the sand" over carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Dr Linda Stalker says both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) state large scale deployment of CCS is one of the measures needed to keep global temperatures down.

In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) form of CCS, carbon dioxide emissions are removed from industrial processes, oil and gas and buried.
