Schemes to remove CO2 from the air really concern me.
All biomass (plants, animals, microorganisms) is made of carbon molecules, which are all made from CO2. There must be a certain minimal concentration of CO2 in the air, or plants become unable to extract it. When there is too little CO2 in the air for plants to extract, they die. When they die, they decompose, eventually becoming CO2.
What will happen with attempts to remove the CO2 from the air, is that plant growth will slow, then stop. Some species are probably more able to extract CO2 than others, so the less able species will die off first. With their decay returning CO2 to the air, the concentration of CO2 will not decrease significantly. By the time enough CO2 has been extracted to see a real drop, a significant amount of biomass will be gone.
Without plants to convert CO2 into usable forms, animals will also die off.
Life on earth cannot survive without CO2. Yet these idiots talk as if the only way to save the earth is to get rid of CO2? Dear God, save us from these idiots!
“Dear God, save us from these idiots!”
I strongly suspect that is exactly what He’s poised to do before these juveniles cause total extinction with their greed and grandiose liberal plans. He will let it go just as long as it can possibly go; then He will pull down that celestial curtain. - Maranatha!
