>Where do you store it?
Someone creates some magical building material that is high in carbon, non-reactive (or at least doesn't leach carbon into the air), economically viable and is mostly recyclable.
Imagine something along the lines of synthetic high carbon asphalt or masonry products.
- Retric 6y agoA lot of CO2 has been released. 10 Trillion metric tons / 7.8 billion people ~= 1,300 tons per person which is well beyond the amount of building materials used.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoYup, but the point is that with such magic building material, we could not only build buildings and facilities with it, we could just pile heaps of it above ground for the purpose of only sequestering carbon.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoThat's about 130 trees or 13 houses. Yes, that's well beyond the amount of building materials used, but not unimaginatively so.
- lostapathy 6y agoHow much pavement exists per-capita? I'm sure that would lower the multiplier a lot too.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoIn case anybody missed the subtlety here, I assume that throwaway0a5e is talking about wood and similar products such as bamboo.
