Most people accept by now that the climate is changing and it’s a direct result of carbon emissions. Politicians, NGOs, academics, the media, and activists spend time, energy, and money thinking about how best to get the world off of fossil fuels, and they do it while facing resistance from the fossil-fuel industry and the federal government.

But there’s an equally serious problem aside from achieving carbon neutrality in the future: What the hell are we going to do about all the carbon we’ve been emitting since the dawn of the industrial revolution?

That’s the problem Paul Gambill is trying to solve.
