Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently

Canadian scientists have created a device that efficiently removes CO2 from the atmosphere. "The proposed air capture system differs from existing carbon capture and storage technology ... while CCS involves installing equipment at, say, a coal-fired power plant to capture CO2 produced during the coal-burning process, ... air capture machines will be able to literally remove the CO2 present in ambient air everywhere. [The team used] ... a custom-built tower to capture CO2 directly from the air while requiring less than 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per tonne of carbon dioxide."

    Trust me, that's no so great an idea right now. Thanks to our fearless leader, new housing development is at a low we haven't seen since 1974. You can chop down the trees, but good luck finding someone who wants them.

    Your use of the word "delicious" doesn't counter the massive environmental damage moral degeneracy any more than saying "sweet tight pussy" would validate sex with minors.
