Scientists seek holy grail of climate change in Oman's hills

I am continually amazed at the incredible amount of money and effort spent in support of an utter hoax.

The $3.5 million project has support from across the globe, including NASA.

The Sultan of Oman has plenty of money, how much is he paying?

Best guess; American taxpayers foot the bill.

Libtards are forever creating solutions to non problems that create new problems. It is what they do. It was just a few decades ago they were certain planting trees would trap the nasty C02 and were rabid about protecting rain forest. That is until it was discovered that trees release aromatic complex organic molecules that decrease ozone. So they couldn’t very well turn on a dime and start hating on trees so they just quietly quit talking about trees. They don’t even hug them anymore.

Think about it. When was the last time you heard a libtards talk about planting trees to reduce global warming. Yet they still haven’t acknowledged they once did or even that they quit.

You are 100% correct. At this point we still having no real idea of how climate change actually works. And yes, there is naturally occurring change.

I for one do not wish to see another 1000 feet or so of ice covering my property!

Um, may I suggest trees. Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere and give back Oxygen in return. Just as God designed.

The climate retards are trying to re-invent the wheel. What idiots.

You can decrease free CO2 by increasing the amount of living green biomass. But why do that when we can punish some capitalist pigs instead.

How will you circulate this magical CO2-laden fluid into the bowels of the earth and have it react when the rock has no porosity or permeability? We are talking about the mantle, not a beach sand.

The point, surely, is that there is an awful lot of CO₂ bound up in limestone in the earth. That CO₂ was in the atmosphere, and now it ain’t. So if you want a lower CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere, you would like to replicate the process which sequestered all that formerly atmospheric CO₂.

That was what I got from the article, maybe I’m wrong . . .

And maybe the idea that the biosphere is better off with de minimus CO₂ than with the CO₂ levels which prevailed in the past - and which have not had obvious detrimental effects as of now - is what is wrong.

[crusty old prospector]

It is all about creating surface area. I suppose we could perform fine mother of all frac jobs and nuke the mantle.
