At last week's climate summit, there was a lot of talk about climate tech and how it could help countries meet their splashy new climate goals.

"We need the scientists and all of our countries to work together to produce the technological solutions that humanity is going to need – whether it's carbon capture and storage, or solving the problems of cheap hydrogen delivery."

President Joe Biden's virtual climate summit was aimed at encouraging individual countries to raise their climate ambitions.

It's all part of a race to do what scientists have found is necessary to prevent the worst effects of climate change: get greenhouse gas emissions near zero by 2050.

None of those goals can be achieved without switching out fossil fuels with renewable energy.

And while hydrogen and carbon capture might play supporting roles in efforts to avert a deeper climate crisis, they're still no replacement for expediting the transition from fossil fuels to more renewable energy.

While capturing carbon from polluting power plants helps avoid climate disaster, it doesn't necessarily address the environmental destruction caused by drilling, mining, and fracking for fossil fuel.
