No, he needs to shove one up his personal methane emitter.

“What are they doing with the carbon monoxide again?”

They’re pumping it into the room where their paper is being peer reviewed by actual scientists.
This tends to limit the number of dissenting reports.

The bottom line is that CO2 is not a problem in the atmosphere.

Nature has provided us with the most efficient carbon based fuels. We simply refuse to develop them.

The oceans are Huge moderating carbon sinks that will keep the atmosphere in balance.

I’d like to see us off of OPEC dependance.
Ethanol is a stupid answer, that ties agriculture and food prices to energy.
Lets get us some shale oil and tap the gulf and anwr

Unfortunately, Kubiak and Sathrum recently tested their device in a garage and died.

California "scientist" invents device to counter global warming.

Some say he knows about as much about science as he does about running the state. ;)

No mention of whether or not they will have to still add non sunlight energy to the mix then.

Waste heat from coal plants?

Maybe place the converter portion of the device in the stack flow, beyond whatever sulfer squelchers are present; and place the solar cell portion on the outside, with wires & collector tubing as & where needed?

Even if it only worked during daylight hours on sunny days, it would still be a big drop in stack CO^2.

Do on-site conversion of the CO to fuel.

Well actually trees cause smog so I guess they’ll keep doing that but don’t tell the greens.

Not to mention that most of the oxygen in our atomoshere is O2 not O1, which means this single oxygen atom could combine with anything to form a potentially more dangerous compound.

Well, I might be dumb as L, but hasn’t the earth already proven it is a self-correcting organism? If it isn’t, how has it supported life for so long.

And as an aside, it’s been my experience when you try to fix something that is not broken, it usually ends up broke.

So you’re gonna hang a tub of that stuff on every cows butt, exhaust pipe, and furnace vent in the world? It’s also a bit hard to route the output of vegitative decay, volcanic eruption, and grass fires through a chemical vat, not to mention the metabolic product of all the breathing in the world.

What are the trees suppose to do?

Hilarious.

My first thought: the Greenies ain't gonna like this...

If I was the king of the trees, I'd tell the trees to go on strike...

1.) No shade for you, stupid humans!
2.) Extra leaves this fall!
3.) You think your sewer line is clogged today!? Just wait!!

Now let me get this straight... We have millions and millions of catalytic converters on autos and lite trucks to clean up and turn unburned hydrocarbons and CARBON MONOXIDE to water vapor and CARBON DIOXIDE and now they are going to reverse that?

Yep. Actually, since most cars on the road are now equipped with computerized electronic fuel injection, unburned hydrocarbons are a much smaller problem than back in the days of carbureted engines and overdue tune-ups.

If eliminating CO2 is a real priority, the best thing we could do is take a hacksaw to our catalytic converters. The states should lead the fight against greenhouse gases by legislating away the "exhaust sniffer" component of annual safety inspection. Why, it's their carbon-neutral duty to do so!

Good place to bump this thread. CO is probably worse than CO2.
