Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don't they?

by Miles Allen, Ted - Ideas Worth Spreading:  https://www.ted.com/talks/myles_allen_fossil_fuel_companies_know_how_to_stop_global_warming_why_don_t_they

Myles Allen studies how human activities and natural drivers contribute to changes in global climate and risks of extreme weather.

The fossil fuel industry knows how to stop global warming, but they're waiting for someone else to pay, says climate science scholar Myles Allen. Instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels, Allen puts forth a bold plan for oil and gas companies to progressively decarbonize themselves and sequester CO2 deep in the earth, with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating a carbon dioxide disposal industry that works for everyone.
