This is the kind of scientific approach should be taken, instead of using the threat of "global warming" to cripple entire industries.
So do they have a way to make oxygen after they remove all of the plant food from the atmosphere?
I bet this leads to a bad shitz effect later. The worst things ever on earth have been perpetrated with the best intentions. Climate change/ global warming is BS. Hope they drop the first bag and it cause them to grow webs between their toes. A crock of crap.
Um. Can’t they just plant, more plants?
Seems pretty simple. Rather than some hi-tech approach which just removes CO2 and stores it.
Plants.
Bad idea.
Can we bottle it back in our Diet Mountain Dew?
This is how they start killing the masses to reduce the global population...Morons. wonder what’s gonna happen when the Nature Nuts, realize that this is “killing the trees”.
The priest-cucks put seeds in the ground and are amazed that plants turn CO2 into oxygen and sugars for plant growth.
This reminds me of Ice-9.
We just need a Bokonon to found a religion.
So they found an intensive, expensive solution to a problem that doesn’t exist while they could’ve been curing cancer or finding a way to feed starving millions?
And that’s how we killed the plants, and thus, every animal including us, on the planet.
CO2 is required for plants, just as oxygen is for us. The amount of CO2 is a cyclic process, and there is no proof mankind contributes in any meaningful way to any change in CO2 in our environment.
Now if they could find a way to remove the alcohol from whisky!
This is a solution in search of a manufactured problem.
I think before we do any of this we ought to make sure that CO2 is a problem. So far I haven’t seen it.
Why don’t they recycle all the asbestos that’s being buried in hazardous waste sites, and extract the magnesium from it? [/s].
It is a stupid AND dangerous idea, AND a colossal waste of money -unless- one accepts the idea that carbon is a greenhouse gas.
And if as many of us believe, it is not, then what are the effects of scrubbing it out of the atmosphere?
And most human geoengineering has been one disaster after another. The asian carp was introduced here as a foodfish. It’s a pest now. Lake trout were dropped into Yellowstone lake as a sportfish by someone to create a fishery. That devastated the native and historic trout population in the lake. We will never stop the python invasion of the everglades. Escaped domestic pigs gone feral are a menace in Texas and cannot be stopped.
The Soviet Aral Sea diversion project was quite a success, if you wanted to destroy the Aral sea that is.
The Salton Sea disaster in California was pretty cool too.
And the Kudzu plant, also known as the vine that ate the South, was introduced as an ornamental plant and is impossible to stop.
The early farming techniques and killing all the buffalo gave us the dustbowl.
The atomic bomb-like California wildfires are the result of one intervention after another, finally ending in complete willful decision to end all management and logging that created fuel loads never seen since Europeans stepped off the boat.
So basically, when someone announces they have a product that they can use to change the composition of earth’s atmosphere, they should be slapped back to their senses, and have their computer smashed with a sledgehammer.
Astounding hubris and moronicness. They cannot point to a single experiment that proves the carbon hypothesis. And now they want to strip away all the carbon they can.
Utter insanity.
The new slurry...
Trees and plants need CO2!
Complete nonsense.
Sure, it can be done, and even assuming there IS too much Carbon Dioxide (there is not) in the atmosphere, the energy input into the various necessary chemical reactions would release even more CO2 into the atmosphere. Their process requires polystyrene, which is made with much nastier chemicals than CO2, and polystyrene is one of the substances that the lefties are trying to get banned worldwide.
I take it back. It isn’t complete nonsense.... It is complete idiocy.
So, what do you do with all the magnesite once you’ve produced it? And what are the energy costs and environmental impacts of mining all that magnesium? And how do you turn the magnesite back into CO2 when you discover the negative impact of sequestration (e.g. global cooling)?
oh yippie- so instead of the atmosphere having 0.00136% CO2 due to man- it will now have 0.00126%— Gosh- we can all rest easy knowing we just saved the planet!
We do NOT need to do Anything about the climate- We can’t do anything- CO2 is NOT driving climate change- CO2 rises only after temperatures rise- that is a fact- CO2 rises hundreds of years after temperatures rise- proving that CO2 does NOT cause climate change- Ice core samples prove this over and over again-
It is a complete lie that man is causing climate change and a complete lie that man can do anything to change the global climate one iota-
The goal of climate alarmists is NOT to ‘fix climate change’ but rather to bilk trillions and trillions of dollars from the gullible
