Sucking CO₂ from the Atmosphere #shorts #SciShow #ClimeworksTeamEarth #climatechange #climeworks

The video discusses the role of trees as natural carbon managers through photosynthesis, which helps reduce carbon emissions by 14% annually in the US. It introduces Direct Air Capture and Storage (DAX) systems as a technological alternative to trees, capable of capturing CO2 and storing it underground. However, DAX requires external energy sources, unlike trees that use sunlight. The video suggests that combining both trees and DAX can effectively address carbon emissions. Climeworks, a company supporting this video, offers solutions for direct CO2 capture and encourages public participation in climate action.

How do trees contribute to carbon management in the atmosphere?

What are DAX systems and how do they differ from trees in carbon capture?

What are the limitations of using DAX systems for carbon capture?

In what ways can combining trees and DAX systems be beneficial for carbon management?

What role does Climeworks play in addressing the climate crisis?
