Converting CO2 into sunlight: Sustainable fuel in sight

[Redaktion]

A portable, completely self-sufficient and scalable generator built by Cambridge University researchers demonstrates how CO2 can be converted and ultimately recycled. The advantages over carbon capture and storage schemes are enormous.

Idiots.  Where will plants and trees source their CO2 then to make carbohydrates if you're stealing their necessity of life?

Shhhh, don't ask good and logical questions. That's not allowed in today's society.

Maybe you aren't aware of this graph:

There's quite an abundance of CO2 right now. No need to worry about using too much of it.

Even building a billion of these machines would not make even a dent on the disastrous amount of CO2 that humans have released to the atmosphere.

I just find it intriguing how the more measures and investments we have to care about our planet the more, accordingly to all the graphs, stats and various scientists, everything gets apocalyptic. 30-35 years ago, no filters on anything basically, all polluted in big cities (it was borderline impossible to breathe in London, UK, and now it's polar opposite), zero care about ecology etc., all good. Since then we went to extreme measures to prevent all of that and - everything is 58906749385948764329877468967 times more polluted, and we are doomed now. Right...

Well, if you find it intriguing, please help yourself with science articles and videos that explain the gaps in knowledge that you want to fill. There's tons of it!

Archetypical desert regions are becoming greener in the recent years due to increased level of CO2 in the atmosphere, as NASA photos and research shows.

At the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to pretty much the max level of glasshouse effect from CO2 already, i.e. releasing more CO2 will have virtually no impact on rising temperatures, see Stephen Coonin "Unsettled: what climate science tells us...".]

Not to mention, there were periods in geological history of Earth when threre were no humans living and CO2 levels were at least 10 times higher than now. Yet no correlation between rising and faling temperatures were observed, i.e. ice ages were happening with higher levels of CO2 than now and also Earth never burned to crisp.

Yeah... Not the case during the last 800.000 years. Humans are not prepared for what's coming.

It's a moronic question and response. What sort of half-wit would think that would even contemplate taking 100% of the atmosphere's C02 even is feasible, which it's not. Pre-industrial C02 levels were ~280ppm and we are now at 420ppm. We could take billions of tons of C02 out of the atmosphere a year before we started seeing the concentration noticeably drop. No one is so stupid as to think we don't need C02 in the atmosphere.
