Not only that but how do we Hoover it all up? Imagine a small room with a soda straw spewing wood smoke and another straw elsewhere inhaling the room’s common air. Despite a 1:1 relationship of airflow, the room will remain smoky. You’d need something like 100x the filtration to make a real dent in the smell. Now scale that to every tailpipe and smokestack on earth lol Granted my argument is an overreach for CO2 because it’s safe at trace (smell) percentages but in the case of sulfur hexaflouride and carbon monoxide, probably not.

Sam, I am with you on this. CCS does not reduce the CO2. It just stores it. It has never been successfully achieved at scale despite O&G throwing billions at it. This type of engineering is not a mass market solution. Stopping CO2 emissions altougher, we're possibly, should be our strategy. Some companies would be better to invest in solar, wind & batteries rather than CCS.

It's going to take everything. Direct carbon capture from air, removing ice vehicles from the road, changing the process of the largest emitters like steel and concrete production, changing agriculture so it emits less and the soil absorbs more including biochar, pumping c02 into the ground etc. etc. We have a lot to do to try and salvage what's left of the future climate.

I believe growing hemp seqeusters as much as a pine tree - a tree that takes 20 years plus to grow. Hemp can produce 2 crops a year - it provides nutritous flour, material for ropes or clothing, hempcrete for building without the need for herbicide or pesticide and it cleans up degraded soils. What are we waiting for? Humanity is so dumb at times.

The purpose of net zero is to produce a food and energy shortage.

The real problem here is, even if we reduce our oil consumption/production by 99%, while still using a tiny bit of plastic or some kind of oil byproduct, we will have passionate loyal fanatics of big oil who will still try & argue that we shouldn’t stop using it, or it isn’t realistic, or they will condescendingly ask us if we’re aware that oil is made for other things besides gasoline. Anything to pretend that were idiots, even if it’s reduced by 99.99%.

There is no mention of what you do with the material once it becomes saturated with CO2. Do you go and bury that material underground? If so, we will need billions of tons of it annually. Or is there a way to extract the C02 back out of it? That would make more sense, but then they need to explain how. Because the extraction process is going to use some energy. Is it a little or a lot? If it is a lot, the idea is dead on arrival.

But trees make oxygen!

While it's true that plant growth relies on CO2, CO2 isn't the only ingredient that plant relies on. As an analogy lets imagine a person that loves pizza. We can say this person's growth relies on pizza. However, we all know that this person cannot grow just on pizza alone. This person will need beverages and an assortment of other different food to thrive, otherwise this person is highly likely to get very sick from eating pizza every meal, forever. Furthermore, this person may be able to eat an entire box of pizza per day, but would be impossible for this person to eat 10 boxes of pizza per day, no matter how much this person may love pizza. So even if you give 100 boxes of pizza per day to this person, it won't make this person grow faster. In the same reasoning, more CO2 won't make plants grow faster beyond a limit. Furthermore, a plant's growth requires: 1) light, for photosynthesis 2) carbon dioxide (CO2), for conversion into carbohydrates during the photosynthesis process 3) water, for nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, and structural support 4) mineral nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc), for metabolic processes 5) oxygen, for respiration where plants convert stored energy into a usable form (especially at night when the sun doesn't shine). Yes, plants do breath oxygen. Moreover, we had already crossed the point where there is so much CO2 in the air that even if the entire earth is covered in plants will not be enough to make a meaningful difference in CO2 levels. As a result, active carbon capture technologies are necessary to help reduce CO2 levels and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
