I pay attention to the weather as well.
I also think it’s funny that the best argument you had against CO2 emissions was never mentioned, despite me goading you.
CO2 in the ground coming out and “having no replacement storage and taking up oxygen.”
If you’re talking logically, the only mathematical argument that make sense is that we are adding Carbon to the air without having a quick enough way to convert it back into carbon storage (like trees or plants), thus using up the free oxygen molecules.
However, if we grow more plants, so more farming and planting trees could mitigate that and also produce more oxygen in the process. Even living things like animals are also “carbon storage” since when we die whether by starvation or something else, we turn back to dust (carbon) and are put in the ground.
Fat people store more carbon.
I just really don’t believe “preventing CO2 emission” is the best solution.
I didn't say it because I hoped you knew the general concept. And the way you speak about it shows you don't hold much stock in what they're selling. Which is fair, cause I'm dubious about them as well.
Example: Canada claims to be carbon neutral with their massive woodlands. Too bad scientific review shows them to be ignoring things like wild fires and oil refinement to get that claim.
Example 2: carbon capture plastic leaves. It's just a dumb pipe dream with no physical prototypes.
Personally, I see the graphine techs being worked on as a way to create carbon demand. The holy grail techs would be cheap conversions of CO and CO2 and diamond formation. Do note cell phone screens are made of the same stuff as ruby these days. I'd love for artificial diamond to get cheap enough that we use that instead.
Unfortunately the CO2 parts per million graphs show that while we'll live with high CO2(cause dinos had like 1000+ ppm), we'll get shifts in weather, and less landmass. Watching the desert move eastward over the years is likely my main concern. The corpo farms are really doin a number on the aquifer trying to keep their farms goin here in Kansas. The weathermen also note the tornado alley is shifting eastward into Arkansas and Missouri.
For my region desertification of farmlands is the main concern of the locals. Which higher temp climate change has been shown to, and will continue to strengthen over time.
