Carbon must be sucked from air, says IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri
The Times ^ | Dec 1 2009 | Robin Pagnamenta, Energy Editor

Posted on 11/30/2009 3:27:14 PM PST by Brugmansian

Dr Pachauri raised the prospect of so-called geo-engineering, whereby carbon dioxide is actively stripped from the atmosphere. A range of techniques have been proposed including seeding artificial clouds over oceans to reflect sunlight back into space, sowing the oceans with iron ore to boost plankton growth and using carbon capture and storage technology to fix emissions from power stations . . .

Dr Pachauri, speaking to The Times on Saturday before travelling to Paris to brief President Sarkozy, suggested that the fossil fuel lobby could be behind a hacking incident last month that led to the publication of thousands of leaked e-mails between climate scientists. He said that it was entirely possible that “corporate interests” had had a hand in the leak . . .

Mmm sir? We already have a system for doing that. They are called "plants". As a added bonus many of them are good to eat.

Now why don't you go take a nice nap and the nurse will be by shortly with your meds.

Then how, pray tell, are the plants going to breathe? Oh, and if you are actually thinking of doing this...START WITH CHINA!

Dr Pachauri, who was in London for a lecture at the Wellcome Trust organised by the BBC World Service, demanded an immediate investigation into the hacking of e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s climatic research unit, which he branded an “illegal act”.

He said: “One needs firstly to find out personally who is responsible, who the culprits are and what were their motives. And unless we do that it is likely that similar things will happen in the future.”

And that would be a bad thing how?

Look on the bright side Dr. Pachauri. Now that you and your organization have been exposed as frauds and disgraced, you may have a future in a Geico commercial. Just continue to shun grooming products.

Those dastardly “corporate interests” exposing deception. They have a vested interest in the truth which makes them totally self serving.

Trees.

Where does most of the oxygen come from (and ergo the carbon dioxide go to), on our planet?

Is is the Brazilian Rain Forests?

So this nutcase Rajendra Pachauri is trying to lead people to believe that big oil [I notice he doesn’t mention Occidental]- as opposed to a bunch of greedy liberals who stand to profit from the global warming scare- somehow made these poor lying junk scientists concoct a bogus theory based on fabricated evidence, made them conveniently lose their source data so no one can independently confirm their research, made them conspire together to commit fraud, and made them eligible for grant money ripped off from taxpayers in order to dupe the same taxpayers into accepting the bogus research as fact and voluntarily lower their standard of living to accommodate a futile fix that really sucks?

What if we are indeed heading into a global COOLING period—couldn’t sucking CO2 from the air trigger a new sudden Ice Age?

I would rather that the air be “sucked” from these individuals.

These people are absolutely INSANE. How people that have no understanding of anything get into such high positions of power completely baffles me.

Uhh, Doctor, before you start sucking away, you need to shut down the Number ONE emitter of CO2:

Obama

These people are just nuts. Next we will want to suck the O2 or H out of the air...or we will have to tax it!!!

Dr Pachauri could use another method.

He could attach the orifice at the northern end of his body to the orifice at the southern end of my body. During subsequent eruptions of greenhouse gases he would actively strip said gases from the atmosphere.

If he does indeed truly believe the gibberish that emits from his northern orifice, then he should consider it his ecological duty (pleasure?) to preemptively strip my releases.

Lets take all the co2 out of the atmosphere and see how long everything lives!!! This would include humans. Stupid people do not think of the unintended end of what they start and hope for the best.

Yeah we’re all going to wear CO2 scrubber masks.
