Plants are the only thing that consume carbon directly from the environment, in the form of CO2. Everything else eats plants, or something else that eat plants. Messing with CO2 is kind of an odd concept, since it's an essential molecule. Currently around 400 ppm, but plants do incredibly well at around 800 ppm. More doesn't seem to hurt them, just doesn't provide an benefit. There are a lot of of commercial indoor growing business. Shouldn't be hard to find on local. Or look some up online. They all augment CO2. It's cheap, but the results are amazing. Even the IPCC states clearly, that CO2 is neither the most plentiful, or potent of the 'greenhouse' gasses. Even though it's the most essential, it's also the only one the they could use, to take control over our lives. Much of our energy and transportation needs, are satisfied by burning fossil fuels. The IPCC recommends solar panels and windmills as alternatives. Two of the least reliable, and inefficient options. Only half the planet is exposed to sunlight at any moment in the day. Wind doesn't always blow constantly. Converting all things that run on internal combustion engines, to battery power, increases the demand on electricity. Solar panels and windmills won't keep up. Charging batteries isn't free either, there is some significant losses. |

I want to thank everyone for joining in and for making contributions to the idea of using the sun's energy to reduce CO2 as outlined in the beginning of this thread. Next up is to bring the concept to the attention of those working to reduce global warming. Would you likewise spread the idea? Yes, it's a Rube Goldberg concept but its challenges may just attract the right person who spins a different version that works. Thanks for all your help. |

NASA gets hyper-accurate tree ring measurements from satellites. You can also measure the earth's temperature by proxy via measurements of atmospheric formaldehyde which tell you the heat content of the Van Allen belt, and then you just work backwards and compute the earth's temperature from there. This method isn't quite as accurate as directly measuring the earth's temperature from tree rings but it'll work for all terrestrial applications. Very soon we'll be able to measure the earth's temperature using quantum computers that are powered by fiber optic cables tethered to drones.

A change in dy/dx is basically rise over run for warming. And we're back to 93% of warming is in the oceans. A rise in global warming of 2º C. or 3.6º F. = 0.14º C. or 0.252º F. warming in the atmosphere. This would suggest hydrocarbons and ozone depletion and not CO2. Of course hydrocarbons are generated when burning most fossil fuels just as CO2 is generated. And we're back to f(x,y) = f'(x) = dy/dx. It's in the math.

HarveyH55 wrote: While a nice dig at James, ANY new energy source that comes along (fusion, whatever) is NOT going to be free. It will simply be another form of energy for sale on the market. Each form of energy has its advantages and disadvantages for one reason or another. Wood is a convenient as a nearby tree. It takes a lot of work to chop it down, buck it into logs, split and season those logs, and finally have something useful to burn in a fire or stove. Coal is plentiful and cheap. It does take work to mine if, of course, but it's easily transported in bulk by train to industries that use it, both to fire their own boilers, maybe generate electricity, or as a component material for making steel. It is, however, messy to handle, being mostly pure carbon. Oil is plentiful and cheap, and it's a renewable fuel. It can be distilled into many products, including gasoline, kerosene, various grades of fuel oils, asphaltum, acetone, benzine, butane, etc. These materials are more than just fuel. They are starting components for many plastics, dyes, explosives, lubricants, etc. Gasoline, kerosene, bunker oil, and diesel oil are both liquid fuels, making them ideal for mobile use such as cars, trucks, tractors, ships, locomotives, aircraft, etc. It is easily pumped around for internal combustion engines. Many portable gasoline powered devices such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, etc can run all day by just refueling them and maintaining them. Oil is also used for some fixed power plants, but not much. It's disadvantage is that you generally have to drill for it and process it (distill it) before it's usable. Natural gas is plentiful and cheap, and it is a renewable fuel. It's easily obtainable, but very hard to ship anywhere. Pipeline leaks are very easy to happen, and a buildup of this stuff can have explosive properties! It has no odor, is colorless, and clean burning. The lack of odor and color can make it quite hazardous to detect leaks, but it is easy to add an odorant to it. It is ideal for fixed use, such as homes and businesses. It provides instant heat on stovetops as opposed to electric stoves that must warm up before use. Since the entire plumbing system for distribution tends to be buried, it is safe from storm damage, but susceptible to damage from earth movement. Propane is plentiful and cheap, and it is also a renewable fuel. It is produced as a byproduct of natural gas production. It is ideal for portable of fixed tanks. It has many of the advantages of natural gas, and can also be shipped in liquid form for use. It's disadvantage is that it's more expensive per watt than natural gas. It is ideal, however for portable BBQs, home heating where natural gas lines are not available, and is clean burning (little soot). Hydroelectric plants require a waterfall to be efficient enough. You can make a waterfall using a dam, but these projects are large and can only be constructed in limited places. They carry the risk of the associated dam collapsing. A few have been constructed at natural waterfalls such as Niagara Falls, or Snoqualmie Falls (a local waterfall in Washington on the Snoqualmie river). These are solar powered devices. They are great for fixed power plants. They do not work obviously for portable power. Another advantage can be the dam itself, which can also provide water for irrigation, homes, or recreation, and can also be used to control river flow for rivers known to be dangerous (such as the Colorado river). Nuclear power (fission) require only small amounts of fuel to work and produce no exhaust during operation. Spent fuel can be used in reactors of a different design and still used to produce power (though more expensively). The risk is handling the fuel. It is not easy to ship or load into the machine. The spent product is still hazardous. Plant accidents are rare, but can produce hazards over large areas, and can be difficult to repair. Due to the technical risks and heavy shielding involved, it is suitable only for fixed power plant use. Nuclear power (fusion) is not available yet. It's waste product is also hazardous, but this hazard dissipates relatively quickly (about 12 years) compared to fission waste products. It will be suitable only for fixed power plant use, again due to the weight and complexity of such a reactor. No fusion reactor has ever produced a sustained energy source. Modern nuclear bombs are fusion bombs, so we know fusion is possible. The trick is to get it to operate as a sustainable and usable form of energy. There are several companies working on this. The required fuel is deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen). This can be obtained from water through the use of centrifuges and electrolysis. Both of these require power, which detracts from the fusion power you get. Mashing these nuclei together despite the forces preventing it also require a lot of power. Wind power is as old as sailboats on the Nile. It is not reliable as an energy source though. It changes direction, it blows too hard or too soft (or even not at all!), but it doesn't require burning anything. Wind generators, from wind mills in the Netherlands (used to mill grain and/or pump water), or modern wind generators (used to pump water or generate small amounts of electricity) all depend on some sort of propeller. These devices are subject to problems of frost imbalance, damage from the weather, etc. They can only operate within limited ranges of wind. Their advantage is that they are great for remote locations where you have sustained usable winds, and you need to pump water or generate small amounts of electricity. They are expensive, watt for watt, to other forms of energy. This form of power is usable at sea, but it requires constant maintenance for the sails, can be quite fickle, and for larger ships requires a large crew just to handle the sails. Solar power has already been discussed in the form of hydroelectric power. Direct conversion is also used (using solar cells or salt furnaces). This method of generating electricity is VERY expensive for the power produced. It can be useful in remote locations for generating small amounts of power though. You will find such panels on RV's, remote sensing equipment, and along highways generating power for electronic signage. Another disadvantage is nighttime, when there is no Sun visible to power these things. You can store up power during the day (ballasting), but that power is not available for other uses during the day. Methods of storage tend to be expensive. Tidal stations generating power are a bit like the liquid form of wind power. Options to build these are rare, however, due to geology required to anchor the plant and obtain usable flow through it. Seawater is also corrosive on equipment, making it difficult to maintain. Tides also ebb and flood, so this form of power is not consistent. It is a very expensive method of producing electric power. Similar problems occur with geothermal plants. The corrosion problem is not as bad, but suitable locations for building such plants are rare. Fossils are not used anywhere. They simply don't burn.

Intothenight - You seem to know nothing about energy, is it your own opinion you do so? That long text of you is so full of false statements. Oil can be made so we wont run out, but most of oil used today is NOT renewable. A windmill on land cost is around 8mio dkr. for good danish quality per mwh. It produce average 0.3x1mwh per hour or 64800mwh in a 25years life span which is around 20dollar per MWH produced or 2cents per kwh. In Texas price per kwh is 7 cents. About fusion, first you claim none make sustainable energy, but next claim is that it has waste that takes 12 years to get rid of, did you just pull that claim up from a tall hat? Most fusion i hear about use H and Ni, maybe Boron or H2O, no waste issues i hear about. Solar today is made of thinfilm and cost around 20c per watt in china, pay back time is extremely fast. And they recently started selling solar that work 24/7 (not very useful yet) |

Anders wrote:Intothenight - You seem to know nothing about energy, Anders, the problem seems to be your lack of proficiency in English. Let me help you. Anders wrote:... but most of oil used today is NOT renewable. All of the hydrocarbons produced by the earth are renewable ... by the earth. We have a really neat word in English: "geology" This word pertains to the natural processes of our planet. The earth manufactures hydrocarbons through natural geological processes. Anders, I have great news for you! The earth's crust and mantle have what appears to be an essentially unlimited supply of the materials needed to just keep making more and more and more. So, yes, Into the Night is correct about hydrocarbons being renewable. Let me know if you have any questions.

In English, "cost" and "price" are different things. You subtract the "cost" from the "price" to get the "profit." I realize that Denmark has a somewhat Marxist culture and that "profit" is treated like a necessary evil that must be endured until the people's final revolution, but until that time, if you are going to communicate in English then you have to compare the cost of producing electricity in Denmark to the cost of producing electricity in Texas, not to the price of electricity in Texas. I'm glad I could help.

I don't think technology alone will be enough. The global economy should prioritize "risk minimization for all" over "profit maximization for a select few." A sustainable economy must be established - and this is such a viable economy that maintains the natural balance. Only then will there be a chance to change something. |

Johnmo89 wrote: Human play a rather insignificant role, on a planetary scale... There are a lot of delusional, control-freaks, who think mankind can do anything. The natural balance, is that as the population of all living things increases, there is a greater need for food. Food starts with plants. Every living thing needs carbon. Plants are the only living thing that can take carbon directly from the environment, in the form of CO2. We need to increase CO2 for plants, so everything else has food to survive. The climate freaks, fail to address the food requirements, unless starving a good portion of the lifeforms that inhabit the planet, is part of saving it. |

It is funny you are sooo convinced that everything you think is truth.... Did you ever consider that solar cells that work 24/7 work a bit differrent than those solar cells you know all about...so if they work 24/7 they might convert ultra violet or ultra red light into power. Btw isnt this invention what you spend all this chat about telling us is not possible and do not exist? https://ionpowergroup.com/#/?playlistId=0&videoId=0 |
