  • Carbon Dioxide Capture

    Hi Folks,

    I just finished reading IPCC's Summary For Policymakers, and am encouraged by the fact that the report makes it clear; human activity is causing global warming.  But it seems to be very conservative in its estimations of coming changes.

    Check out this 2 page article titled "Snatching Carbon Dioxide from the Atmosphere".  http://cdmc.epp.cmu.edu/co.pdf

    In the article, they state:  "...research has shown that we
    could stabilize rising temperatures by removing
    carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Climate
    Decision Making Center researchers are explor-
    ing a new and unique way to do that. It's called
    air capture, because the researchers use a chemi-
    cal to absorb CO  directly from air."

    Anyone know about this process?  Is it really a technology that can work?

    Thanks,
