Here’s an article on a venture backed by Bill Gates to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
I’ve always been skeptical of these types of enterprise, on the basis of sheer mathematics. In this case, the technology involves collecting and baking biomass into rectangular solids the size of shoeboxes, covering them with an impenetrable coating to prevent decay, burying them in deep holes, and monitoring them indefinitely.
In 2025, the company predicts it will capture 15,000 metric tons of CO2, which 1 out of 2.5 million of the world’s annual CO2 emissions.
If I were in change of all this, I would simply grow trees, and turn the wood into building products designed to last at least 100 years. I think it’s a reasonable assumption that the next century will bring us to a place where we have vastly different issues in limiting/removing CO2 emissions.
My Republican mother used to ask me about Greta Thunberg, “Since when has a 15-year-old girl become an expert on climate science?’
“She not,” I would reply, “She’s a political activist who trusts what scientists are telling us over what the oil companies say. Whose accounts on this matter do you trust, and why?”
We don’t need opinion polls regarding matters of fact.
This is why it’s incorrect to say that we do (or do not) believe in climate change. One either understands or does not understand climate science.
The same concept applies to the meme at left. Who could possibly care about the opinions of largely under-educated Americans regarding the strength of the economy under Biden or Trump.
Would you rather ask 100 economists or 100 managers of men’s apparel stores?
Americans–even the greedy pigs and the hateful idiots–are turning against Trump.
Each new day brings a new level of chaos, mayhem, economic freefall, criminality, and international humiliation for our country and its people.
We’ve run out of patience.
