A cloud of waste gas billows out of chimney stacks at a factory in the eastern German village of Heiligengrabe in this June 2, 2004 file photo. Climate change could be slowed by burying greenhouse gases blamed for global warming deep below the ocean floor under thick, cold sediment that would trap it for thousands of years, said a team of Harvard-led scientists.

These people are freaking out!

It's a wonder they can function at all.

It would also likely raise the cost of generating electricity from a coal-fired power plant by at least 50 percent

Well, that could be construed as a downside ...

"It's a wonder they can function at all."

They don't, they just burn tax dollars fabricating lies, and then request more funding to do it all over again.

Can we bury our forest fires and volcanoes under the sea bed too? Never seen any of these reports that take these into account.

LOL.. I can see the bumper stickers in the not too distant future,

Gas people , not the sea floor.

Just kidding, folks.

This whole global warming movement may well be right that the climate may be getting warmer, however, their strident beliefs that it is man made is not in step with facts.

But these days, it's much more convenient to blame people and their evil byproducts than solar cycles , volcanos, and good old Mother Nature changing her stride for a bit.

Oh well.

This is the biggest bunch of bull, on so many points that it's impossible to respond. I'm not a scientist, but sometimes the BS beeber just goes off.

I am no scientist thats for sure, but can i just ask what type of machine they will use to separate the Carbon Dioxide from the air an how will they put it under the ocean.? What will power this operation? I can see it now a big plant running night and day and large tubes funneling this gas into the ocean floor. Its sounds like a pipe dream to me. The only thing I would bet on is that someone will get rich off it.

They'd better hurry up and get started so they can claim credit before the next (inevitable) cooling cycle begins.

This might be an opportunity to give moonbats something constructive to do- we can send them out armed with a jeweler's loupe, a pair of fine tweezers and a mason jar apiece- along with instructions to 'collect carbon dioxide molecules for burial at sea'.

Unfortunately the idiots at happy hour appear to be swinging the policy bat lately on this debate.

The other articles I've seen today shout "Man-Induced" which is so much crap it's pathetic. We're gonna' get a shaft over this if we're not careful and it's not going to be pleasant...
