So those big Co2 extractors won’t do any good?
All the CO2 extractors in the world, if harnessed to the task specifically, would be overwhelmed by the emissions from just ONE active volcano. And this is by no means the only “burp” that the earth itself is allowing to boil up from the depths.
At the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, a thin boundary line between the rocky crust of the earth and the molten layers beneath, there is a very active chemical and physical brew continuously being formed and broken up. One of the major constituents of this layer is supercritical carbon dioxide.
Under sufficient pressure, carbon dioxide is a very powerful liquid solvent, and the elements of the Disconinuity are being separated and reformed under these conditions. When a vent through to the surface is formed, as by an erupting volcano, the underlying magma bursts forth with considerable pressure, releasing this carbon dioxide in a vastly expanded volume.
Technically, of course, the supercritical carbon dioxide is not a “liquid” in the sense we normally associate with something like water or petroleum. But carbon dioxide does provide fluidity to other elements and compounds, and this is the active part of the chemical and physical reactions occurring.
There is so much more we don’t know than what we do. And every “scientific fact” can be knocked on its head as newer discoveries are made, and all the old hypotheses fail to explain the inconsistencies.
There is not, and never can be, anything like “settled science”. At best, we are left with “SWAG”, scientific wild-(eyed) guesses.
