International efforts to combat global warming are so broken that it's come to this: hoovering massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the sky.
A body of scientists convened under the auspices of the United Nations is giving more weight to the idea that vacuuming vast stores of CO2 from the skies and burying it in the ground may be necessary to limit the temperature rise to the internationally agreed safe level of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels. The plan's not quite like a giant thermostat for the whole globe, but the metaphor's not completely off either.

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat beans and swelter — for the good of the planet.

I don't know who's more scarier, the nuts that wrote this or the nuts at NBC that repeat it as gospel.
NBC propaganda is much scarier.

The goal is to have complete control over the people. They want you living in a tiny eco-apartment, and riding a bus.
Meanwhile the elites will continue to tool around in limos, SUVs, and private jets, and live in gigantic houses.

The rest of us will eat beans You can't eat beans...you'll become a methane producer. You might as well live among the cows...and produce musical farts.

And what happens to all the plants on land and in the sea when these experts who honestly have no clue how the Planet works pull too much out of the atmosphere? And just where are they going to park it?

I wonder how much it would take to set up a business that uses a “patented” technology to do exactly that, remove the CO2 from the atmosphere.
I could rent some fancy office space, charter a private jet, throw some parties, etc.
Of course I'll need a generous grant from the UN...

Yes, indeed. What happens when the trees, corn, wheat, and other farming vegetation dies from lack of CO2?
