Point

Sasha Mackler, of the National Commission on Energy Policy, argues that low-carbon coal technology can help address climate change.

Counterpoint

David Roberts, of Grist.org, says emphasizing carbon dioxide emissions ignores the connection between humans and the planet.

…if we attempt to deal with climate as we have historically dealt with other environmental problems, we’re cooked.

– Sasha Mackler

Making ‘clean coal’ commercially viable...sounds to me like large-scale corporate welfare. – David Roberts
