Remember when AIDS was impossible to cure? Now it is fully treatable. Necessity is the other of invention. We have a need to reduce atmospheric carbon.Creative minds are working on solutions that none of us here could imagine on our own.
For example: VUV lasers
New technology could revolutionise carbon capture and space exploration.
Researchers discover a way to tease oxygen molecules from carbon dioxide
"The VUV was provided in the form of a laser shooting a beam at carbon dioxide molecules to break them apart. Another laser was used to ionize the pieces from the broken molecule so that they could be measured by a mass spectrometer. The process resulted in just 5 percent of the carbon dioxide molecules splitting into oxygen molecules and carbon atoms (the rest went to carbon monoxide and oxygen atoms) but that was more than enough to show that the process can be used to get molecular oxygen from carbon dioxide—and that might have a far reaching impact."

- So tell me, what do you guys think?
- We are far past the tipping point...
- What about carbon capture?
- 400+ ppm?
- I am all for it- but the scale of the problem makes it questionable
- I can't say I believe entirely in your assessment
- What about carbon capture?
- Something else to worry about.
- I think we'll need to wait and see. n/t
- We are far past the tipping point...
