Capturing Carbon With Garbage Heaps

davide marney writes "In a Washington Post opinion piece, Hugh Price argues that using a decidedly low-tech solution to sequestering excess carbon — making piles of agricultural waste — is better than many 'green' solutions already in practice. Sometimes the easy answer is the right answer. After all, it's how coal forms, and we know that works pretty well."

    The flaw is that it still does not address the root issue:

    Overpopulation.

    Yep, if there is indeed "anthropogenic global warming" (or, *cough cough* 'climate change'), then the root problem lies with the 'anthropogenic' part, right? Just too many damned people. Fix that shit first, and the problem will solve itself... No need for non-solutiuon, stop-gap measures like 'sequestration' or 'carbon credits' or more new taxes by which to further hold down individuals under the thumb of Big Gov't...

    But that doesn't serve the purposes of those who know better than we do what is good for us... {roll_eyes}
