My yard is full of machines that suck CO2 out of the air....
They're called Oak Trees; and the little ones are called blades of grass.
Oh, I know... electricity. We'll jut plug them in to the magic sockets on the wall, where the energy just magically appears...
Hah!
And when plants start dying...what do we do...pump it back??
Yes, it's called pagan environmentalism, a form of Hinduism, AKA the Death Culture.
Plants have been reinvented?
These folks should be embarrassed. What nonsense.
1) CO2 has not really been proven to cause global warming. It follows temperature increases on the earth, it doesn't precede them.
2) Plants are good at absorbing CO2 and converting it to hydrocarbons. Why not plant more plants?
3) Has anyone done the calculations to see how many of these devices they would have to build, how they would compress and transport the CO2 to greenhouses, how many air-tight greenhouses they would have to build?
The engineering challenges would be mind-boggling, and the costs would be also. And what about the CO2 generated by energy used to compress the CO2? What nonsense.
What does it matter how much it costs? It will be altogether ineffective anyway, not even able to keep up with a field of corn during the month of July, where if you listen closely, you can literally hear the crop growing, as the nodes elongate in discrete bursts.
The goal here is to drizzle away as much money as possible so it is not available for any productive purpose. The very opposite of the concept of capitalism.
Couldn’t it actually do harm to the Earth and many species of plants and crops to remove a large amount of CO2 from the atmosphere? These hoaxsters are going to be the end of us all.
Then we'll have mandatory SUV driving.
Which goes to prove that Socialism and state control are their true motivation.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. The Pope was nowhere to be found !!
Two comments:
1. When are they going to do something about all the dihydrogen oxide in the air? Don’t they realize how many people die due to elevated levels of dihydrogen oxide at high temperature?
2. How much coal will it take to produce the energy to run the CO2 scrubber?
SO2 scrubbers have been around for a long time.
See post# 3. “(I’m sure Sir Richard will be awarding that prize money to the Pope now, right?)”
Yep.
Plant more trees. Natural CO2 scrubers.
Oooops - too easy and too cheap.
The trees won’t be happy.
SAVE THE TREES!!!
If changing the climate of a planet is this easy, let’s get cracking on Mars.
It’s a great idea: Fight junk science with junk science.
