The problem with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

There's a lot of debate on whether CCS is a valuable instrument to counter climate change. In my eyes, it could on the short term, but on the other hand: if the only answer we 'intelligent' beings can give to a problem is to store it under the ground, I would start to doubt our 'intelligence'.

It could however solve the issue in short term. Too bad the investments in CCS plant appeared to have stopped everywhere except in Norway, due to the 'high cost' of these solutions -after all we're in a crisis. Guess the 'high cost' doesn't factor in the costs of a declining environment...
