UNH students creat method to suck CO2 from air.
Wow, these students kick ass! This gives me a lot of hope that we may actually be able to fix this planet of ours. Read this for a morale booster if you're feeling down.

1. God bless them. A lot of people don't get concerned over the
possibility of catastrophe because in the past we could fix crap. God bless these smart science kids.

2. Hound, you ade my day. Been a little to realistic, dangerous to the mood!
:yourock: and so do the UNH students. Not tell those smarties at HSU to get busy. We need something to suck delusional Republicanism out of the atmosphere.

3. While clever

there are likely much better solutions which can be applied
on a global scale.

For example, some time ago (10 years?) there was a German study
about using finely ground up granite in the forests, apparently
stimulating the growth of trees in the forest. I'm not sure
what happened with that study, but apparently the theory was to
mimic the actions of ice ages (receding glaciers in the time of
global warming exposing lots of granite gravel, forests grow and
fix CO2, cycle of warming ends, cycle of cooling begins with
glaciers advancing again)

5. Better plan yet, plant millions of trees and massive forests....
...plants crave CO2
