Global Warming

[RidingTheFlow]

By spending energy, you can split CO2 back to carbon and oxygen. Its called "carbon dioxide cracking", or, alternatively, "photosynthesis"

Ha, imagine all the federal bigwigs being told their seaside real estate will go inland so the planet can have room for more plebs.

The audacity!

Yes we have the technology to replace the CO2, the US has a whole business making said machines. That is part of the argument against lowering CO2 output; because they can fix it with machines. It would be simpler to keep the trees and plant some more.

Also: Yes China etc are reclaiming land from the sea. However: If you add to the land, the sea level would simply rise and we would lose land elsewhere.

Why use trees if we have expensive machines.

Exactly. More business openings.

It is plausible, if you accept the technology of 3303 in the Elite Dangerous universe, that Earth climate has been "repaired" to pre-industrial conditions. However, it takes a long time for ice sheets to build back up. If you look up sea level curves or oxygen isotope curves for the last, say 400,000 years, it should be apparent that sea level rises really fast at the end of the ice ages, but the lowering and ice build-up afterwards takes thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.

Remember that what was done to Mars was a warming up-process. Earth would have to be cooled.

Kind of looks like their map of America is slightly flawed even for global warming .... But I'm glad I didn't retire in Florida ... seems like the realestate is awash ... not to mention the Great Lakes moving ...

Florida eventually just fell down one enormous sinkhole.
