Carbon Engineering. Formic Acid.

[Zephyr]

Instead of worrying about CO2 in the atmosphere.

Do something about it.


Carbon Engineering, a Canadian business is sucking CO2 right out of the atmosphere.


There's been huge strides towards turning that CO2 into something useful.


Like Formic acid, usable in fuel cells.

Or the National Research Laboratory in Idaho has been able to apply nuclear energy to convert CO2 into synthetic liquid fossil fuels.

The days of oil being non-renewable are coming to a close.

Because its not about that
Its a wealth transfer and a new tax

Almost too good to be true. I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.🥴

Yes everybody who promotes the climate change scam is doing so with a view to gaining a very good income without doing any actually useful work because, unfortunately, useful work is difficult.

Here's a story about the company from Forbes, big names have money invested already.

These ideas sound relatively harmless. But it really concerns me to hear some of the real dangerous sounding concepts that seem to involve consuming copious quantities of scarce(and almost entirely non renewable) energy to remove beneficial CO2 from the atmosphere in some method. If they were proposing to somehow store it for future generations to be able to release it to maintain these favourable levels for a few more decades after we have exhausted ( or otherwise replaced) fossil fuels, I could get behind the concept, but that never seems to be a consideration.

If the govt is trying to modify behaviour then they are also responsible for solutions. Why didnt skipppy take some of that $100B he wasted, buy up 500,000 acres in central sask and cover it end to end with solar panels and windmills?

Because its not about climate change or solutions, never has been, never will be.

If you really wanted to get rid of atmospheric CO2 and hence all life on earth.

I am on the side of C02 very necessary for plants and all life, more is better, half of one percent is NOT deadly, it's a "chosen" boogey man to rile up the NON reasoning dummies. What if we reduce it TOO MUCH?
