Two leaks have occurred at the nation's first carbon capture well in Illinois

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is currently on everyone's lips. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the substance you breathe out with every breath, is supposedly a “pollutant,” according to the Left. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere — which gets there by burning things like wood, gasoline, and natural gas — supposedly causes a canopy effect that traps the sun's rays and catastrophically heats the planet (i.e. global warming). However, no one can actually prove that (a) the planet is warming catastrophically and (b) even if Mother Earth warms a little, we don't know what's causing it. Questioning global warming (demanding real science) is a sin against the left and marks you as a “denier” in their twisted world. One solution suggested by some is to capture CO2 as it burns, trapping it and then pumping it into a well for permanent underground storage. The first-ever commercial well in Illinois has experienced multiple leaks.
