These geniuses seem to be unaware that sucking all the CO2 out of the air will kill all living plants, and thus the entire ecosystem of life on this planet.

And watch plants die....and trees forget to spread their leaves.

Mother Nature does it's own balancing act.

Remember the oil spill in the Gulf.....NO ONE...not one scientist thought it would self clean at such a rate. They were mesmerized.

I would have just used some redwood trees and ferns but, I’m lazy like that...

Just checking in to make sure they weren’t suggesting eliminating all humans and mammals.

A battery? Nice.

God already did.

They’re called “plants”.

> this system is quite energy efficient, using about one gigajoule of energy per ton of carbon dioxide captured <

I wonder where that energy comes from.

Carbon dioxide is a crucial component of the biosphere. Without it, there is no biosphere.

Stupidity at its finest.

+++++
But don’t ignore the fact that the oceans would stop rising and forest fires would be greatly reduced and would eventually disappear entirely due to the absence of anything to burn.

Plus, a real bonus, there would no longer be an AOC and her Squad.

Well, then they can sequester the CO2 underground in strategic places throughout the country.

It’d be a shame if one of those CO2 storage “tanks” allowed a discharge in a populated area.

Kind of reminds of someplace in India called Bhopal...

It will return to the atmosphere when the top is popped.

So what??
There is no, zero, nada, evidence to support the THEORY that carbon dioxide has anything to do with causing the earth's climate to change...or stay the same.

If CO2 has such amazing solar radiation reflecting capability, then why doesn't increased concentrations of atmospheric CO2 reflect solar radiation back into space...causing global cooling???? Hmmm???

Next they should work on Brawndo so we can conserve water. It has to have electrolytes which plants crave. 8>)
