The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.

We learned we’re (1) changing the earth’s land so much that we threaten our food security and the land’s ability to capture carbon, (2) heading toward devastated oceans that are coral-free, and (3) not cutting emissions even remotely fast enough to avoid these outcomes. The costs are not theoretical any more. degrees Celsius.
