Sucking Carbon From Sky May Be Necessary to Cool Planet, UN Says
NBC News ^ | April 14, 2014 | by John Roach

International efforts to combat global warming are so broken that it's come to this: hoovering massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the sky.

A body of scientists convened under the auspices of the United Nations is giving more weight to the idea that vacuuming vast stores of CO2 from the skies and burying it in the ground may be necessary to limit the temperature rise to the internationally agreed safe level of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels. The plan's not quite like a giant thermostat for the whole globe, but the metaphor's not completely off either.

That job is already being performed. They’re called ‘trees.’

You're right. Also, if conservatives thought this was a real issue - which we don't - we would also suggest planting more trees in mall parking lots etc as a way of stopping the creation of weird heat sink micro climates around large cities.

They should start in China. However, I think we’re approaching a different human engineered solution. Economic collapse.

What the environmentalists forget is the the world is a dynamic system.

If the world heats up, more sea water is absorbed into the atmosphere and that means clouds and rain and that blocks the sun and cools the environment and the earth.

It is a balanced system and almost impossible to create imbalance except for political expediency.;-)

If you want to put an oil pipeline through, you've got to fill out thousands of pages of forms and wait years until some bureaucrat gives you the nod, because you might be affecting some snail or owl or fish.

But the same people who demand accountability from oil pipeline companies or dam builders think that it's okay to purposely draw tons of a naturally occurring compound from the atmosphere, and that there will be no negative consequences?????

Lot of psuedo-science deniers around here. The god of the Global Warming religion whoops.......I mean Climate Change religion will be infuriated.

He can only be placated with a lot of carbon taxes, bicycles and becoming communists.

Yep, as hundreds of high school experiments have proven time and again, plants grow quicker in a high CO2 environment.

They are trying to play God, with none of God’s wisdom. They think they’re “saving the planet”, but they will destroy it. Evil, arrogant morons.

Well, that’d be the right organization to do it. On a Global scale, no one sucks like the UN.

Yes. These people are either totally cynical, or deranged. Or both. No competent ethical scientist would give this nonsense a moment's notice.

translation - our other attempts to force governments and taxpayers into forcibly paying into and forcibly joining the global warming religion have failed to garner enough national, global and public support, so let’s try another
“public investment” scheme in the combined names of “science” and “saving the world”.

In commercial greenhouses C02 machines are used to accelerate growth in young plants. As the plants mature the C02 production is cut back because they don't consume and process as much.

Forests work the same way. Young trees planted after a timber harvest are active and eat air like teenagers eat pizza.

SOOOO - ain't it funny that the liberal nutballs that want to kill the timber industry are worried about C02?

Well hey - these are the same folks that rant and rant about clean and renewal energy and lobby congress to tear out hydroelectric dams.

The thing that confuses me is how anyone can take these batshit crazy people seriously!
