Comments on: Nature Feature on Air Capture http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5174 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:36:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: C3H Editor http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5174&cpage=1#comment-13684 C3H Editor Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:59:41 +0000 http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=5174#comment-13684 We monitor multiple blogs, web sites and news sources and see very little on the subject of air capture, other than your site. I can understand why the typical green radical would abhor a technology solution to "global warming" but what keeps others from being excited about air capture's potential? Are there other factors that are causing people (and even politicians) from supporting this as a complementary solution or stop-gap measure?

" Can someone please explain to me how these folks can make this kind of statement in a world which has seen no significant temperature change in 12 years and even a strong COOLING for 5-6 years? Don't they read their own science? “Efforts to limit CO2 emissions will need to be strengthened massively if they are to keep concentrations from reaching dangerous levels, so there may be little choice but to remove some of the CO2 already in the air (see page 1091) or cool the planet in other ways (see page 1097). ”

Perhaps after all the air has been successfully captured and we get to live on Mars instead of Earth, the current governor of Calfornia will be able to reprise his role as Douglas Quaid. Perhaps the Governor might even be able to remove the false memories he appears to have implanted in his brain at the moment and will wake up and realise just how much he has been manipulated by the environmental movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Recall KevinUK Roger,
