Carbon Dioxide From the Air Converted Into Methanol (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: The danger posed by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has seen many schemes proposed to remove a proportion it from the air. Rather than simply capture this greenhouse gas and bury it in the ground, though, many experiments have managed to transform CO2 into useful things like carbon nanofibers or even fuels, such as diesel. Unfortunately, the over-arching problem with many of these conversions is the particularly high operating temperatures that require counterproductive amounts of energy to produce relatively low yields of fuel. Now researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) claim to have devised a way to take CO2 directly from the air and convert it into methanol using much lower temperatures and in a correspondingly simpler way.
HOW DARE YOU! That is NOT what Global Warming is meant for. It is meant for Progressive Socialist global wealth redistribution and enrichment of the keepers of the religion. Any heretics to the state religion of Global Warming will be rooted out and shamed by the SJW brown shirts and be regulated out of existence. How DARE you question the state religion. The keepers of the religion and their "useful idiots" have declared everything settled. We just need to give billions of dollars to 3rd world war lords to fix the CO2 "problem". Just stop being privileged.
