Global cooling by reducing co2...fish kills due to dumping all that lime, declining vitality in the worlds plants and trees due to reduced co2...I can think of all sorts issues. Now the use of lime in a power plant bubbler scrubbing system before gasses escape might be an interesting concept....could something like that be put into cars and trucks?

I sure hope not!

Only another a demand on automakers, thereby raising prices.

Also, if what the IPCC has claimed is really true (and I am very skeptical), than less than 1% of the earth’s atmosphere drives climate. And what you said may come to pass, global cooling, or even worse bring on an ice age.

Coal fired power plants already use lime in their scrubbers. This produces a synthetic form of gypsum (CaS04*2H2O). This used to be a waste product, but gypsum companies have increasingly been using this “waste” product to make Sheetrock. In fact my company uses syngyp from coal fired power plants almost exclusively in the eastern US. In the Midwest, and the west, they still primarily rely upon mines and quaries. So if you live in the eastern US, there is a good chance that the walls of your office or house are made from the byproducts of scrubbing power plant exhaust.

Not needed because- CO2 IS NOT A POLLUTANT!!!

CO2 DOES NOT CAUSE "GLOBAL WARMING"!!!

Co2 is PLANT FOOD!!! The more the better. Man made co2 represents .01% of the 600 or so parts per million- that's 6 PARTS PER MILLION PARTS of other stuff.!

Again, CO2 does not cause Gore Bull warming, and man made co2 even less so.
