Hey, I know someone that came up with a great CO2 scrubbing machine a while back:

There’s already a machine that can remove carbon dioxide from the air. It’s called a tree.
To: Free ThinkerNY
The Lackner team says the captured carbon dioxide could then be pumped into greenhouses to boost plant growth.Or we could just leave it in the atmosphere...also to promote plant growth.

Didn't read the article so I'm probably off base. Let me get this straight...We suck co2 - plant food - out of the air and watch the green stuff die. Am I missing something?
BTW My oldest son and I were kicking around the idea of making a video of someone holding a tree "hostage" and telling the greenies that unless they send us money we'll torch the tree.
We'll use a propane torch to make the tree "scream" and wait for the bucks to roll in. Could even have the greenies do a rescue effort but they'd be too stupid to know how to dig the tree up and transplant it.
Might be worth a few bucks on Break.com.

Yes, but... Once we remove all the CO2 from the air what will your tree breath then! Or the rest of the plant life for that matter.

... which will eventually die and then decompose into methane, water vapor, and fossil fuels, starting the whole freaking process over again.
To: Free ThinkerNY
The idea is bound to be controversial, with environmentalists seeing so-called technological solutions to global warming as undermining attempts to promote greener lifestyles and industries. Here the green weenies tip their hand, yet again. It is not about global warming. It is about control. They want to require greener lifestyles and industries, which will be defined however they want to define them, and the global warming myth is the club they are going to use.

The idea is bound to be controversial, with environmentalists seeing so-called technological solutions to global warming as undermining attempts to promote greener lifestyles and industries. Of course, such a direct solution to a non-problem totally removes the need for the draconian measures that the socialists want. A device like this is their worst nightmare. They will fight it like the plague - proving to all that they really have no interest in the environment (or they don't really believe the Global Warming BS themselves.)
To: Free ThinkerNY
Why does something tell me this will somehow either be vastly too expensive, or it won't really work, or both?
Possibly because the alternative is, it works all too well, and then the VGWC (that's Vast Global Warming Conspiracy ;-)) would have nothing much to complain about -- or to dream up their little international socialist schemes over?
They simply couldn't allow capitalist enterprises to call their bluff...

These global warming jackasses won't rest until they really screw something up.
The end result ...

The "
WAR on global warming." LOL!
Ya gotta love how liberal girlymen ALWAYS latch on to "manly" terms to describe things they are doing or farting around with.

Isn’t it a heck of a lot easier to pull carbon out of an exhaust stream at the point of generation, when it might be 5% or more by volume, than to pull it out of the general atmosphere, where it is 0.03%, at most?

Complete and total nonsense.
In the first place, CO2 does no harm. If a machine were found to control it, some other hobgoblin would be invented by the Left to have us worry about.
