Therefore emissions from burning fossil fuels would add only plain carbon to the atmosphere.

«More than anything else this requires rapid and strong reductions of
burning fossil fuels such as coal; but some
emissions, for instance
from industrial processes, will be difficult to reduce —
therefore getting CO2 out of the air and storing it safely is a rather hot topic.
The one, teensy, weensy problem with the wind industry's «save the planet» pitch is that 100 % of the capacity
from intermittent and unreliable wind power has to be backed - up 100 % of the time by
fossil fuel generators running in the background and

therefore, increases CO2
emissions in the electricity sector.
While nuclear energy is regarded as the lesser of the two evils when compared at an
emission level to the
burning of
fossil -

burns in a contained nuclear reactor through an in - ward heat - chemical reaction called fission, but nuclear energy production is a chain
from uranium mining to the toxic waste disposal and
therefore as an entire process is an equally high risk environmental option.
