If you want to delay the impact of climate change by 1 year by sequestering one year of of CO2 added to the environment through saline sequestration, that's about 40 billion 10K water trucks worth of storage, or about 40 Lake Tahoes turned into saline storage ponds, and you need to add that much storage capacity every year just to keep atmospheric CO2 from getting worse than it is (you're not yet to the scale of reducing atmospheric CO2 at this rate). The oceans have enough volume for this, but most other containers are too small to be meaningful.

- ben_w 5y agoWhy? There are ~8 billion humans to get stuff done — it’s not all on your shoulders. Even if only 1% of the world both can and will fix it, it’s still in the realm of stuff that can be fixed.

And that’s just the people who want to get rich while saving the world, not charities like Greenpeace, or government interventions like Feed-In Tariffs and fuel taxes.
- layoric 5y agoHopefully this will help people realize it will be a lot more impactful to reduce GHG emissions as a priority rather than focusing on trying to capture and store the growing output. Yes both can help, but first stop the bleeding.
- samstave 5y agoK, I would like to pose the following Q -- What ~~would be the balance btwn the effort for climate change, vs,~~ What the heck are we doing? We keep talk of CO2 offsets, and Sequestering... WE FUCKING NEVER SPEAK OF PROCESS OPTIMIAZATION WHICH REDUCE CO2 T BEGIN WITH??? !!! Band-aid much bitch. WTF?!
