RE: It's Here - Geoengineering Now Normalized as Scientists Spray Chemicals to Dim the Sun, Soak Up CO2

in #geoengineering7 years ago

But it's not about pollution, it's about global warming. The fear of catastrophic civilization collapse. The problem is pollution, and on the other side nobody has yet argued coherently how a two degree difference in temperatures over a long period of time is crucial when day and night difference in temperature is magnitudes that, and the planet has been through worse climates than right now, notably every single ice age, which seems to be a natural phenomenon and not "caused by dinosaurs" or "man" so any hope of global warming would be incredibly helpful so as to actually extend the time until the next ice age, we can live in 1200 ppm CO2, it's the optimal environment for photosynthesis, high temperatures and a lot of co2, we are at a fourth that level of co2.

Sort:  

I have come to the conclusion that the ideal trace amount of CO2, which is minuscule compared to the amount of Oxygen (21%) would be beneficial to humanity indirectly by benefiting the plants. The plants being the below the animal part of the food web would benefit the animal part of the whole biosphere and we are a tiny portion of the animal part of that biosphere. I do my part every day when I drive my car.

Thank you coal burning gods! but the sulfur isn't that great, Why aren't we capturing all of that energy?!

In reality there is so much resource everywhere but the vast majority goes to waste. "It's expensive to trap sulfur" ACID RAIN IS MORE EXPENSIVE ASSHOLE, that's the only argument, the next part would be, well what can we do with all this building material!? We are a silly bunch indeed.

On one hand we are economically incentivized to avoid glass because of the deposit system on glass containers. On the other hand, plastic containers have no extra cost.

The glass is chemically inert and will remain chemically harmless if burnt but plastic releases harmful chemicals when burned.
