It is believed that the last global warming was ended by a huge bloom of aquatic ferns all over North American waters. Today, these same ferns are considered pests and are constantly cleared from recreational waterways in the U.S. and Canada.

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Changing such habits of so many/so quickly is likely a task well beyond the most manipulative-minds who fancy their mob-psych. skillz. Probably our best Hope would be for a demi-Tragedy {I can't conjure up an outline for one of those} just adequate to Get the ATTENTION of ALL* of us* complicit co-conspirators/facilitators of what may prove to have been: the Final gross-error of all previous human 'fantasies of the futchah''. That which aimed us Here. How's That! for fun-with the subjunctive tense, word-jockeys?

now that is doin, not yawping. CO2 recycling - (boxley) - (16) - Oct. 10, 2015, 10:42:25 PM EDT

Looks interesting. - (Another Scott) - (15) - Oct. 10, 2015, 10:57:28 PM EDT

I don't get it. - (Andrew Grygus) - (13) - Oct. 11, 2015, 01:18:05 AM EDT

I was thinking that too, initially. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 11, 2015, 11:33:43 AM EDT

they are turning it into fuel -NT - (boxley) - (11) - Oct. 11, 2015, 12:54:24 PM EDT

Yeah? Just how do they expect to do that? - (Andrew Grygus) - (10) - Oct. 11, 2015, 08:33:32 PM EDT

uh, read the article? - (boxley) - (9) - Oct. 11, 2015, 08:48:42 PM EDT

The article is wonderfully uninformative. - (Andrew Grygus) - (8) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:15:31 PM EDT

They depend on nearly free electricity if they want to make fuel. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:29:20 PM EDT

Yes, with unlimited "almost free" electricity . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:47:24 PM EDT

maybe something similar - (boxley) - (5) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:36:37 PM EDT

Credible science, but major problems. - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - Oct. 11, 2015, 10:09:12 PM EDT

Plants, via photosynthesis, do this all the time. - (a6l6e6x) - (3) - Oct. 12, 2015, 09:37:51 AM EDT

I bet they generate more CO2 in burning natural gas then they extract from air. - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:03:27 AM EDT
