Enivronmentalists worst nightmare? GMO’d ‘frankenbugs’ could make fuel directly from CO2

Which wanabe godlet knows at what point CO2 becomes "Excess".

Excess carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

But we need more CO2....it's plant food.

If these Bugs went viral,...we could drown in fuel...Oh NO!!!!

[rktman]

Go at throttle up. Woo Hoo! More CO2. My plants will love it.

[DManA]

OBJECTION! Assumes facts not in evidence.

created by the widespread burning of fossil fuels is the major driving force of global climate change,

[muawiyah]

You do realize that if these guys are correct about CO2, they should soon realize that removing all that CO2 will restart the next cycle of glacial advance that we may have held off through the simple expedient of burning everything we can find.

Frankly, given the choice between freezing to death or roasting, I'll take a heat pad and a heavy winter coat!

This ....excerpt :

********************************

When the fuel created through the P. furiosus process is burned, it releases the same amount of carbon dioxide used to create it, effectively making it carbon neutral,...

I find reassuring.

The research was supported by the Department of Energy as part of the Electrofuels Program of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy under Grant DE-AR0000081.

Do we have another Solyndra in the making? This artcle is less about science and more politics. It has the PC intro and PC proof that all those tax dollars wasted by the feds is really wasted on good stuff!

"Excess" CO2? "Trapped" in the atmosphere? I wonder who spelled those big words for the author?

[TigersEye]

Once released into the atmosphere what would keep the bugs from eating all of the CO2 in turn destroying all plant life which would make this planet a sterile rock in short order?

This is what happened to Mars.

Any article that starts out with a flat out lie in the first sentence will be taken by me with a salt mine.

In order to recive funding....that must say they support the AGENDA!

[Bernard Marx]

OBJECTION! Assumes facts not in evidence.

Seconded and thirded! This so-called "fact" is very much open to question. It's the central point of this whole debate: do rises in CO2 levels precede or follow warming cycles? If they follow, as many prominent scientists believe, then the whole junk science AGW charade collapses.

Stop, this makes too much sense. Besides, the Bush Family will eventually go bankrupt in four de-generations.

Despite my earlier post, this is actually pretty cool. Only downside is we NEED some global warming right now...this weather has me wondering if the next ice age might already be starting!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

See #7.

[TigersEye]

That’s not fair! You posted that while I was composing mine. lol

[gov_bean_ counter]

Hunker down you harry dog!!!

UGA, UGA, UGA!!!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

There is a website predicting the next ice age is coming with the Sun going into slow down mode.

Click the Image.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

LOL!

I may be old and slow ,....but ever now and then,...I get in a good lick.

I keep looking for a way to impress my grandkids.

[hosepipe]

What happens to the planet IF there is NOT ENOUGH CO2 in the atmosphere.??.....

Global COOLING?...
