Removing CO2 From the Air Only Hope for Fixing Climate Change, New Study Says

The only way to keep young people from inheriting a world reeling from catastrophic climate change is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions dramatically and immediately, according to a new paper. Not only that, but it's also necessary to aggressively remove greenhouse gas that's already accumulated.

"If rapid emission reductions are initiated soon, it is still possible that at least a large fraction of required CO2 extraction can be achieved via relatively natural agricultural and forestry practices with other benefits," the authors wrote.

"On the other hand, if large fossil fuel emissions are allowed to continue, the scale and cost of industrial CO2 extraction, occurring in conjunction with a deteriorating climate with growing economic effects, may become unmanageable. Simply put, the burden placed on young people and future generations may become too heavy to bear."

Mommy, why do Liberals hate trees?

Joseph Priestly and Benjamin Franklin would demonstrate otherwise, if they were still alive.

We allowed a pasture to become a forest. We have hundreds of trees, just from letting nature take its course. Big CO2 eaters/oxygen makers. No fanatic politicians necessary.

Trees is CO2 scrubbers.....what a concept.
I’d patent that if I where you. :)

[Mr. Douglas]

I’m coming up with a semi-portable version. I’m calling it a shrub.

Liberals: it was a travesty that we killed 10’s of millions of bison that once roamed the plains...

...but cow farts are bad.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Ask all these Bone Head Scientists this, when the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth the CO2 was about 15% higher than today. So how did this CO2 dissipate to where we are now???????

We will survive and so will the planet.

[DarthVader]

We must remove liberals from the gene pool.

Isn’t it likely that more CO2 will produce more plants? We are already seeing parts of the Sahara show more plant life. Plants absorb CO2 - problem solved.

I wonder if sprinkling a box of baking soda around would work.

The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory

Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics

Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'

It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming

Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.

Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics.

[Louis Foxwell]

If we rid ourselves of global warming alarmists global warming will end. Laugh at them and treat them as the ignorant children they are. Global warming is a hoax. Shame the hoaxters.

[GreyFriar]

Thank you.

I hope some day what’s left of humanity will accurately blame these idiots for the new Ice Age they will suffer through...

In a near future, the climate is wrecked, polar ice extends down through Dakota and the citizens of American have given themselves over, in the name of conservation, to an overbearing and pervasive government. Science has been rejected as elitist and technology as destructive. The American government no longer supports the surviving space stations and they struggle to continue with inadequate resources.

When two space pilots crash-land in North Dakota, the US government is after them. If caught they'll face the full weight of the law, the space stations will be one step closer to collapse, and the once-bright future of civilisation will dim a little more.

So it's left to an unlikely group of supporters to rescue the astronauts. And who is this unlikely saviours? SF Fandom, of course. The fans themselves will rescue their astronaut heroes.

This is a book for SF fans, an excellent gift from Niven, Pournelle and Flynn. If you read the fanzines, if you go to the conventions, if you buy "SF Reviews" T-shirts, then maybe this book is for you. However, if you're not one of these dedicated, committed fans, then it's a sad, sad read: a potentially exciting novel ruined by an embarrassing cast of characters.

I hope you know that God all ready has this patented so you cant make any money on it.

[Mr. Douglas]

He ALWAYS beats me to it. I can’t compete...

[Scrambler Bob]

Even cow farts are probably helpful for something.

Moo.

Pull my hoof.
