Hi, Im new to this site and this topic so excuse my naivete but I understand sucking carbon out of the air and converting it to a solid has been talked about before and the limitations being that it costs a lot of energy. Is there a study about that I can learn about more? Or could someone elaborate on the requirements? Thanks!

Why would you want to do this? Are you trying to kill all life on earth? Do you hate humanity?

What could possibly be going through your head?

Hey if someone found a way to do it cheaply it would derail the entire issue! Think about that IBdaMann.

No, it would create the issue. Plants would die. All life would soon follow.

Only a humanity-hating Marxist would find that acceptable.

Wait, you are a Marxist.

This is why we non-Marxists want to pump as much CO2 into the atmosphere that we can so when the loony manipulated wingnuts start pulling crap like this, we can save humanity and all life on the planet.

You do realize that CO2 is sort of a rare gas? It's only about 0.04% (being generous) of the total atmosphere. You would need a whole lot of these machines, requiring power. You would also need to move a lot of air through them. A very costly proposal, and we'll be needing all that cash, resources, and labor, to convert everything over to greener energy, so eventually, we aren't producing all that CO2, meaning those devices would soon become useless.

Plants already suck CO2 out of the air, and convert it to solids, we, and every other living thing on the plant depend on for food. Every living thing is based on carbon molecules. Plants are the only things the metabolize carbon from atmosphere, CO2. If we artificially remove CO2, plants are going to be deficient, produce less nutritious food. Doesn't matter if you are herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore, plants are the food, of the critters you'll eat. I'd trade a couple degrees warmer, if it means more, and healthier food. What good is going 'green', if we all end up starving, and fighting over Soylent Green?

To bad James hasn't been around, he's got this invention to suck carbon out of the air. Well, more of an idea, really. Since he doesn't have the funds or the skills, and his surgery related disability prevents him from working.

Google 'Greenhouse CO2 Augmentation' sometime, to get a little perspective on how much CO2 plant need, to grow really strong and fast, healthy plants. You'll wonder how they survive on what little they suck out of the air...

As long as we got that cleared up, great, however if you prefer "Sandersist" then I suppose we could accomodate. Mox nix.

Don't you recall? I was a heavy participant in that thread. I took the time to clearly and thoroughly explain everything and to exhaustively debunk your bogus "net flow" argument, even to the point of ruining your little parlor trick by pointing out how you swapped equations when you thought no one was looking.

Are you now asking for a "do over"?

Go ahead and start reading here and avoid ignoring what I wrote, but also notice all that you wrote, about how you understood everything, about how it all makes sense, about things being clear all the stuff you then promptly deny starting here and throughout the subsequent posts.

If you want to get back to the point where you understood everything before you began denying everything, review the posts. All the answers are there. By re-reading them you can get familiar with the material to which I will be directing your attention in the future so I don't have to repeat myself.

You really should pay more attention.

We don't need to suck carbon out of the air. Carbon naturally falls out of the air, especially when it rains.

We don't need to build a machine to suck carbon dioxide (a completely different material than carbon) out of the air. Plant some vegetation. Grass, shrubs, trees, anything. Oh by the way, your contribution by doing so will make no significant difference.

Are you sure? That monster could've quite possibly just live under the flattened area and ooze out to get you!

Guess you didn't think of that as a kid!

It is cheap. Plant something. It makes no significant difference, but at least you have a garden.
