Why don't we just take the CO2 out of the atmosphere and lock it away somewhere?

what are trees?
Benjamin King
Only young forests help.
Old forests are very inactive, so covering the Earth in trees will only make a difference while they're young and growing.

I see, you could always just chop em down use the wood then replant them no? seems more viable than an industrial solution.
Nicholas Powell
Simple, grow forest untill trees have passed peak growt, burn down forest and repeat.

Iron seeding.
Problem is unknown consequences. We could, very likely in fact due to the nature of cyanobacteria, inadvertently turn the oceans to poison. There are also unknown consequences to layers of rust on the ocean floor. The massive iron seeding necessary to reverse climate change could fuck us just as bad as climate change itself. The simplest solution is to stop using fossil fuels and convert to a safer alternative such as nuclear but that will take time and so we need to start now.

looks like there is work on this

>A carbon dioxide scrubber is a device which absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2). It is used to treat exhaust gases from industrial plants
>They have also been researched for carbon capture.
they say climate change is also doing the same:
>Climate change alters ocean chemistry leading to ocean acidification
>Much of the carbon dioxide that enters the atmosphere dissolves into the ocean. In fact, the oceans have absorbed about 1/3 of the carbon dioxide produced from human activities. As carbon dioxide in the ocean increases, ocean pH decreases or becomes more acidic. This is called ocean acidification.
>safer alternative such as nuclear
Need to get the word out that its actually safer, so many people stubbornly ignorantly think it's too dangerous.

yes. and it's most important to use the wood for stuff. letting the cut wood rot would release the co2 again. if we really wanted to reduce co2 we'd have to to make almost _everything_ out of wood. imagine cars and computers with wooden bodies and cases.
