What happens when one of these do gooders kill all the plants in the name of CO2 control?
You want a simple and inexpensive method?
PLANT A TREE!

Yes, and wait until they plug up all the cows.
If you wish to sequester CO2, plant corn (think how fast and large it grows in a single season).
This was before ethanol gas so it was assumed the corn would be consumed by humans and animals effectively storing it in biomass.
So these scientists at Hahvahd are coming up with means to eliminate, or scrub CO2 from the air. They of course will expect to get paid to do so. THEN these geniuses will come up with a way to feed CO2 to each, and every tree, or bush on the planet via some pill that dissolves in water, or something, and expect to be paid for that as well.
Apparently in the minds of the left it’s all in effort to create jobs (for them).
Gonna be a lot of upset trees.
Maybe it’s time to hug one.
I already wrote up my thesis for saving mother erf. Only problem is new economies evolving from this which would destroy liberal theology. The only other problem is nuking Gaza and the new UN from orbit, just to be sure.
Why hasn’t Congress passed a law to limit the CO2 and other greenhouse gas emitted from Kilauea (sarc?)
The availability of such a device might quell the climate change fear mongering.
The worst case is they actually use the machine to pull out too much carbon dioxide, resulting in starvation as crops fail.
Perfect sir!

If carbon can really cheaply be pulled out of the atmosphere who knows what lies in the future? Pehaps total weed control as the CO2 that weeds need to live goes away and that pesky “green revolution” which is due in part to the rising level of CO2 in the air can be finally shut down. Be careful what you wish for. It may come to pass and have lots of attendant changes you hadn’t counted on.

It looked like a scam when that article was posted and it still looks like a scam.
Throw billions trying to make this work and one Volcano eruption all resets it back to where it was.
Politicians are idiots.
I don't think this is going to make the leftists happy, though, since they will have to come up with another reason to control everything we do.
Let's say this works and they were right all along. What happens when the temps start falling on their own? I hope they've saved up all the CO2 so they can warm things up.

Not a chance this would stop the fearmongering or the proposed “solutions”. It is the latter.....the massive socialism with a convenient green wrapper that is what they really wanted all along.
Ever notice that in the 60s it was the population bomb/depletion of resources and in the 70s it was the coming ice age before it became global warming and then climate change that was the big fear.....and every single time the “solution” was the same - global socialism.
No smoking hot spot David Evans - THE AUSTRALIAN July 18, 20081. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
Everyone should buy one of the new, improved Brawndo CO2 scrubbers.. Now with TWICE the electrolytes.
Not really. The REAL question is "What do you do with it once you capture it?" The process leaves you with a HUGE volume of CO2 gas. Now what? It ALWAYS takes more energy to turn it into fuel than you get out of burning the fuel.
(I lean towards the theory that Air Pressure is the bigger factor... PV=nRT, the Ideal Gas Law.)
