No, they can cap those off pretty well. Honestly, I think we need a way to start capturing CO2 and that's a solid solution for holding a large amount of CO2.

Once our CO2 emissions finally come under control and we are not pumping out an insane amount, we will need to start finding ways to capture massive amounts of CO2 and holding them, or chemically changing the CO2 into liquids or solids.
