The question is the scale. How much space do you need for plants to capture a gigaton of carbon? Does earth even have that much suitable surface? And how do you put it into the ground so it can't decay and be re-processed into carbon dioxide?
- krisoft 4y ago> The question is the scale. Ok, but that means the question is not the energy balance. That is my whole point. > How much space do you need for plants to capture a gigaton of carbon? Plants are only one of the possibilities. All I am arguing is that it is not impossible on account of the principle of energy conservation. Not arguing how easy or hard it is. > Does earth even have that much suitable surface? Of course. It happened once.
- blueflow 4y agoI know where you are going, but human technology is energy intensive, wasteful and won't save us.
- krisoft 4y ago> I know where you are going You probably don't. > human technology is energy intensive, wasteful I agree. > and won't save us In that case we better lay down in the sun and die peacefully. Because human technology is the only thing which can save us. What else there is?
