Carbon dioxide (CO2) is good at holding in heat from the Sun, and even a small increase of the gas in the atmosphere can cause Earth to get even warmer. Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) is about different technologies that can keep CO2 produced by factories and power plants from causing global warming. The idea is simple, and there are only a few main steps in the process. The first step is about trapping carbon emissions from factory chimneys. For instance, a filter can be placed in the chimney, so that the carbon is trapped and it cannot go out into the atmosphere. Then, the gas is piped to places where it can be stored or used. If stored underground, it cannot contribute to the climate crisis. If used, for instance, it can help grow greenhouse plants or make soda drinks. While CCUS projects can clearly benefit the environment, these projects are not straightforward as there are many issues to be dealt with, such as maintaining the storage site, which have slowed start-ups of CCUS projects worldwide. Thus, with only a few CCUS projects operating now, there still aren’t enough to seriously help with the world’s carbon emissions. Early forerunners in this technology are the US, Canada, and Norway. The good news is that CCUS has now gained momentum in other countries, where 30 new projects have begun in the past three years. The International Energy Agency says there must be many more to keep carbon emissions from heating the world too much.

40. Why is carbon dioxide put underground?
- A To light up greenhouses.
- B To cool down soda drinks.
- C To limit global warming.
- D To worsen climate change.
思路引導 VIP
請定位至文中第一段後半部關於 $CO_{2}$ 儲存（storage）的描述：文中提到若將其儲存在地下，則 $it cannot contribute to the climate crisis$。請結合文章首句提到的二氧化碳會導致地球變暖（$get even warmer$）這一因果性質，思考將氣體封存於地底的行為，在邏輯上是為了對『全球氣候變化』產生何種程度的限制或影響？
