Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don't they?

Title:
Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don't they?
Speaker:
Myles Allen
Description:

The fossil fuel industry knows how to stop global warming, but they're waiting for someone else to pay, says climate science scholar Myles Allen. Instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels, Allen puts forth a bold plan for oil and gas companies to progressively decarbonize themselves and sequester CO2 deep in the earth, with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating a carbon dioxide disposal industry that works for everyone.
