Any hope of keeping Earth habitable now requires sucking carbon back out of the atmos

Ha!

50 years to late fuckers!

"The tundra will continue to melt over the next 500 years — irrespective of how quickly humanity cuts its greenhouse-gas emissions," Jørgen Randers, the lead author of the new study, told Business Insider."

"The data showed that if emissions stopped for good in 2020, sea levels in 2500 would still be more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) higher than in 1850."

"To prevent the projected 3-degree-Celsius temperature increase, greenhouse-gas emissions would need to have ceased entirely between 1960 and 1970, the model found. In that sense, Earth blew by a climactic point of no return 50 years ago — before much of the public understood the realities of climate change."

Just gotta get the carbon from the atmosphere into the ground.

*too

Trees do a wonderful job of that.

Nothing to it but to do it.

Yes, they do.

It's too bad they're disappearing.

There’s new work on making plastic from stuff excreted by stuff in the seas...
Get rid of new carbon without using oil for new plastic..
The new “carbon sink (sinc) plastic also decomposes in 3 years...

There was work on turning any carbon into oil
They used the refuse from a butterball factory to make light crude

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changing_World_Technologies

Either of these ideas means beating back big oil...

Good luck

Big Oil as a corporation is heartless soulless non Christian
Non patriotic... just pumping green blood. That’s it’s sole purpose
No worries about the world or the future of humans

Or we can wait for the next ice age. fuck the rest

You do know carbon itself is an atom, right? How exactly do you suck carbon out of other atoms? I mean, any elementary school kid knows this, so what does that say about you?

Well, oh great and wise wizard it says that I did not write the article.

Where do you think the Carbon dioxide you buy say from Air Liquide comes from?

https://www.airliquide.com/

In my opinion...if in fact, the article does speak the truth clearly and asI have said in the past that new ways of engineering things will have to be found and deployed.
I'm guessing a new way of concentration gasses and chemically changing their form for storage will have to be found.

If and when the process gets started it will have to be a worldwide and continuing process increasing in volume yearly.

I would suggest we look at other gasses also.

Naturally I make NO promises that anything man can do will change ANYTHING!

Unfortunately, this might be right. The question is what does that mean for the planet and us included.

Worst cases are planetary ecosystem collapse. I really don't like thinking about this because the implications make the kind of rioting and civil unrest and (likely world conflicts)we saw this year look like a two year olds birthday party.

Cutting back on Co2 and other greenhouse gases is a very simple thing...any two year old can figure it out.

Stop burning things for energy
Don't buy things that burn stuff for energy

I've had to do covid environmental testing for my work which, funny enough, relates to this subject. You can indirectly test indoor spaces for fresh air flow and quality with a Co2 detector. To calibrate the testing equipment you set it to the outside air first as your baseline.

Outside air today is usually around 400/450ppm Co2.
150 years ago it was low 300's
This is the human impact.

All studies if this in the past show that we have had rises in Co2 and average planetary temps before....they just happened over periods of thousands of years, not within 100.

This is why this maybe be a the beginning of a mass extinction event. It's happening too fast for all of us biological creatures to adjust to.
