Sucking Carbon From Sky May Be Necessary to Cool Planet, UN Says
NBC News ^ | April 14, 2014 | by John Roach

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.

No, they are greedy. They want a “comprehensive study” aka tax dollars to fuel research into this idiocy.

“”vacuuming vast stores of CO2 from the skies and burying it in the ground””

I know what should be buried in the ground and it ain’t CO2.....how long do we have to wait to get rid of all the hot air idiots?

They are not going to give up on the climate change hoax. Their entire dream of controlling a global totalitarian government is riding on it. They will NEVER surrender.

This only proves that most scientists are now government grant recipients.

These people are crazy, and dangerous.


Crazy like a fox. Imagine the potential to tax us all to accomplish such a task.... On top of that, the people the perpetuate the hoax are the ones who will benefit financially by offering “their green services.” The politicians will get plenty of kickback from their “green friends” and they can all feel good about it while we pay for it - forever.

These idiots are the biggest danger to freedom. The ability to “tax” carbon is nothing more than the ability to tax anything and everything. FRegards.

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

That can't ever happen, because our infinitely wise and powerful overlords at the UN are able to carefully put together the perfect balance of input without any errors at all.

Hopefully, it will suck the UN right along with it, into one of those black holes never to be seen again!

Just let vegetation grow.

But if they can extract it for a reasonable cost, pump it into Greenhouses and help grow food to feed the world.

Wikipedia has an interesting article on method of Carbon dioxide removal. Doesn't sound like any of them are ready for prime time.

“These people are crazy, and dangerous.”

I like to point out to them that water vapor is 10 to 12 times more problematic as a greenhouse gas than CO2 and then ask if we should reduce H2O emissions?
