What? It's free and Mother Nature does it very efficiently.
“Then it is pumped into a greenhouse to grow bigger vegetables”
They say that like it’s a BAD thing!
Wait?! Are they trying to make greenhouse plants fat? That can't be healthy. It seems racists for liberals to want to steel food from certain a certain race of plants and give it to a preferred race of plants. They are steeling from one group and giving to another. That doesn't seem fair? What did the greenhouse plants do to deserve the extra CO2. And what do they have against the natural plants that are going to starve?
Why can't liberals just leave the plants alone and let them all feast on their primary food source equally? I say give them all more food. I'm going to let my truck run all day in support of the plants.
More like ClimateWankers!
“It can capture about 900 tonnes of CO2 every year. It is then pumped to a large greenhouse a few hundred metres away, where it helps grow bigger vegetables.”
But, but, but Co2 is a POLLUTANT!
lol
“While CO2 concentrations are now higher than they have been in at least 800,000 years,”
This is a misleading argument. The CO2 results you get from ice cores are average concentrations spanning thousands of years. You cannot make a valid comparison between those and individual concentrations taken over a 50 year period.
Every time I read an article like this I am always amazed that humans always think they can improve on nature. I don't know if it's the writers or just how ridiculous things are nowadays. The best way to eliminate CO2 from the atmosphere is trees. Here is one of many articles on this subject.

A warmer greener earth will soak up a lot the “excess” CO2.
This machine needs energy. That energy most come from somewhere.
Does anyone see how stupid this is? It’s using energy to provide a richer mix of Co2 for a select few plants. Duh.
The CO2 that you have “removed” formerly went to ALL the plants on Earth. You are concentrating it and giving it now to a very small number of plants. You are cutting back on the CO2 available to the the vast mass of plants on the surface of earth, and so fewer plants will grow and the CO2 will increase to the level where it was before you started your stupid machine.
Your damn Co2 is going to leak out of your damn greenhouse eventually, and go into the atmosphere anyway.
Big waste of energy for nothing.
What a$$holes.
There’s a machine that inhales CO2. It is called a tree. Make more trees.
We are all going to die of oxygen starvation if they keep going this way. All oxygen comes from CO2 (discounting what the submarine guys breath). I am sure they are also hurting old growth trees. Now where is that liberal tree hugger that is screaming and crying at the same time about old growth trees, etc.
This is RACIST. Some selected plants get extra CO while others are deprived. The poor free range plants are deprived because of the RACIST 1% who use up more then their “fair share”.
PETV (People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetation) need to get going on this.
And apparently no one sees the problem with this. All they are doing is temporarily capturing CO2 at great, unnecessary expense.

They never seem to tell the whole story in these articles. Draw a bubble around the whole process and tell us how much energy is going in (electricity, natural gas, etc.), how much CO2 is collected, how much of the collected CO2 goes into larger vegetables versus going back into the atmosphere? How much does this system cost, and what are the economic benefits?
I’m guessing the whole story would be pretty pathetic.
I have always thought that, _IF_ the day ever comes when we realize that CO2 really is a horrific thing, then ultimately its Technology that will come to the rescue.
I'll say.
