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 . . .

We do seem to be headed into a cooling period, and as the oceans cool down, they will start re-absorbing the CO2 they have been releasing as they warmed up.

We should be a lot more frightened of this kind of interference by humans than any natural warming and cooling processes. Tinkering with Father nature could be disastrous.

lol; If I had to prove Pachauri’s sanity, I would surely lose the case.

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.

True, but they have the downside of needing water, you know as opposed to the Delta Smelt.

Actually, those of us old enough to remember these things, notice that things like seeding the oceans with iron ore was also supposed to stave off global cooling.

The CO2 levels that produce global warming were also supposed to be the things that lead to global cooling.

It seems that no matter what the volcano does the answer is always to sacrifice more virgins, so to speak.

Actually, Pachauri does have a powerful vacuum he could use to suck with:

One it gets silly, it can only get to ridiculous from there.

I wonder, what parts per million of the atmosphere would most of these idiots recommend for CO2.

Would they vote to take it back to zero parts per million vs. 380 parts per million?

For the record, any CO2 concentration below 220 parts per million would spell the end of all life on earth except of the deep sea sulpher-based bacteria.

Why doesn’t Dr. No go back to his shitpit country of India and clean up that open sewer called the river Ganges?

River Ganges? More like River Gagme.

People deficating, getting drinking water, doing their wash all the while as a funeral pyre floats by. Lovely.

Can you imagine if the Potomic River looked like that?

All of these Turd World countries were colonies of Europe NOT the United States. Go ask the French or the British for your allowance.

STOP ASKING AMERICANS FOR MONEY AND GET A REAL JOB....WINO!!!

This psychopath wants to dump iron ore into the ocean !

All because of an imagined threat.

These are twisted people.

Those who cling to to the theory of AGW are flat-earthers.
