Sounds like something the CBC would propose.

Truly amazing that this hoax still has legs....
You would think after 15 years of zero temperature increases seemingly intelligent people would at least have the common sense to stop making fools of themselves....

Time to fold the UN up and call it a day. The place is a tide pool of parasitic communist incompetents. Let them go meet in Brussels

Trees soak up CO2, don't they? All we need is more trees.
This guy has the answer...
Yes, man made trees to capture CO2 and, wait... Bury it in the ground.

Pssst, liberals....Earth's geography and climate have been constantly changing for hundreds of millions of years. Where I'm currently sitting was covered in a sheet of ice that was a mile thick some 15,000 years ago in fact. Lake Erie is a few miles away from me. It was literally dug out and filled by that giant receding glacier along with the rest of the great lakes. You can't stop it. Might keep that in mind when you're paying your flood insurance premiums for your coastal condo.

Some times the UN is right on the mark. CO2 vacuum cleaners is indeed just what we need to implement. Here is an image of my first prototype:

The issue isn't cleaning up the environment, and never has been. The issue has been to find some pretext to shove a socialist dictatorship down our throats, when we've already rejected every other attempt at it.

So what happens if they pull the CO2 out, and they’re wrong? I’ve had botanists tell me that the current level of CO2, at ~400ppm, is low enough that it’s a significant limiting factor in plant fecundity. What arbitrary level are these so-called “scientists” saying the atmospheric concentration needs to be brought down to? What if it turns out their level is too low to sustain earth’s flora, and the biosphere starts dying?

Exactly. Best way to vacuum up CO2 properly is to plant a Tree or a Bush. They also vacuum up pollutants very well.
Industrial vacuuming up of CO2 is a boondoggle for politicians like Al Gore.

Schemes to remove CO2 from the air really concern me.
All biomass (plants, animals, microorganisms) is made of carbon molecules, which are all made from CO2. There must be a certain minimal concentration of CO2 in the air, or plants become unable to extract it. When there is too little CO2 in the air for plants to extract, they die. When they die, they decompose, eventually becoming CO2.
What will happen with attempts to remove the CO2 from the air, is that plant growth will slow, then stop. Some species are probably more able to extract CO2 than others, so the less able species will die off first. With their decay returning CO2 to the air, the concentration of CO2 will not decrease significantly. By the time enough CO2 has been extracted to see a real drop, a significant amount of biomass will be gone.
Without plants to convert CO2 into usable forms, animals will also die off.
Life on earth cannot survive without CO2. Yet these idiots talk as if the only way to save the earth is to get rid of CO2? Dear God, save us from these idiots!

Or, we could plant more trees?
Not sure how the left misses this point; other than the idea that planting trees doesn’t really extend their control over the American people.

Why does the UN hate poor people across the globe?
Because removing a plant growth stimulant from the atmosphere is certain to cause a rise in food costs.
