Terraforming Dead Earth: Remove Carbon from Atmosphere to Save Climate, Says UN

So, we’re going to starve the plants?

What about eating food?

New York Post:

Sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere is the world’s only chance to avoid climate change disaster, according to a report due to be released Monday.

The paper by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is expected to say that dangerous climate change will be avoided only if vast quantities of carbon dioxide are removed from the air, the Times of London reported.

Carbon dioxide removal is necessary to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions globally and nationally,” a draft version of the summary report said, according to The Times. If “negative emission” technologies fulfill their potential, it continues, they could even enable a reversal of global warming.

However, carbon-capturing technology is nowhere near where it needs to be. Today, 19 operational plants capture only 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year, compared to the 36 billion tons the world produces annually, according to the report.

The paper also says that an urgent and wholesale shift away from fossil fuels is needed for there to be any chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. Scientists believe topping that threshold will lead to significant and irreversible harm to Earth’s climate.

But the report, commissioned and endorsed by 195 governments, acknowledges that the only “negative emissions” strategy currently used on a mass scale is tree planting.

Scientists are working on other techniques, including air capture or giant fans extracting carbon dioxide from the air and storing it underground or converting it into jet fuel.

This is really wild.

We all learned in elementary school that plants breathe carbon dioxide. No one has explained yet what negative effects carbon dioxide is having on “the climate.” They’ve just declared that this is a fact.

They aren’t really even talking about “global warming” anymore, because all of their graphs on temperature have been so wrong, and they’ve been forced to admit that the world is still at the end of an ice age, meaning weather should be warming anyway.

So now they’re just saying that like, carbon dioxide causes hurricanes and earthquakes.

It’s one thing when they’re playing this little game of telling people to drive electric cars (even though electric cars create more carbon than gas cars). It’s a whole other thing when they start talking about terraforming the earth to make it impossible for plant life to grow.
