Instead of scaling up renewable energy, researchers promote unproved ideas
At last year's Glasgow COP26 meetings on the climate crisis, U.S. envoy and former U.S. secretary of state John Kerry stated that solutions to the climate crisis will involve “technologies that we don't yet have” but are supposedly on the way. Kerry's optimism comes directly from scientists. You can read about these beliefs in the influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Integrated Assessment Models, created by researchers.
The IPCC models, for instance, depend heavily on carbon capture and storage, also called carbon capture and sequestration . Some advocates, including companies such as ExxonMobil, say CCS is a proven, mature technology because for years industry has pumped carbon dioxide or other substances into oil fields to flush more fossil fuel out of the ground. But carbon dioxide doesn't necessarily stay in the rocks and soil.

Carbon content drives high temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride below 100 GPaWe report a previously unobserved superconducting state of the photosynthesized carbonaceous sulfur hydride (C–S–H) system with a maximum TC of 191(1) K below 100 GPa. The properties of C–S–H are dependent on carbon content, and X-ray diffraction and simulations reveal the system remains molecular-like up to 100 GP
