Uh, not quite... HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 21/02/2013 02:45:03 AM
Contrary to what you may believe, we actually NEED CO2 in our atmosphere. Remove the CO2 and all the plants (you know, those green things that use sunlight and convert CO2 into oxygen through a process called photosynthesis) die. Shortly after the plants are gone, so are we.

Atmospheric CO2 content is a red herring.

This could mean great news for me personally Timthetrolloc - 20/02/2013 09:50:39 PM 1212 Views
I wonder if it could work on other fuels? Isaac - 20/02/2013 10:18:08 PM 1186 Views

Do we also need our oceans to be 30% more acidic? *NM* Roland00 - 21/02/2013 03:40:19 AM 620 Views
But the CO2 levels in our atmosphere are 20% higher than 50 years ago Floffe - 21/02/2013 08:49:29 AM 1321 Views
There's a certain irony to being criticized on this one from that sector Isaac - 21/02/2013 05:37:37 PM 1300 Views

No problem *NM* Isaac - 21/02/2013 10:47:10 PM 520 Views
It seems pretty dubious. It still produces CO2. Ghavrel - 21/02/2013 10:02:55 AM 1032 Views
i can think of three uses for excess CO2 moondog - 21/02/2013 03:16:42 PM 1128 Views
Every single one of those increases atmospheric carbon. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:00 AM 1066 Views
The technology is still a big improvement over current methods. Aemon - 21/02/2013 05:01:31 PM 1089 Views
Oh, I agree. My point is just that sequestration will remain an issue. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:25 AM 512 Views
Well dense CO2 is easier to get rid of Isaac - 21/02/2013 06:08:33 PM 1017 Views
Pretty sure putting it in the dirt would increase atmospheric levels, though. EDIT: Never mind. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:40:38 AM 1045 Views
Interesting. Bergioyn - 21/02/2013 09:57:27 AM 1064 Views
Probably too little, too late. Dannymac - 21/02/2013 04:09:45 PM 1148 Views
The excessive regulation is on coal use, not production. HyogaRott - 21/02/2013 05:00:28 PM 1075 Views
Nope. Dannymac - 25/02/2013 05:26:39 AM 1052 Views
