[OFN]A new method to fuck up the Carbon Cycle has been invented.

The researchers say that soda is more effective than current methods and less damaging to the environment.
The team have already successfully trialled microcapsules filled with the substance.
They believe that the baking soda approach could be 40% cheaper than existing technology.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is believed by many scientists and politicians to be a critical element in global attempts to avoid dangerous levels of climate change caused by CO2 emissions.
The burning of coal, gas and oil for energy production remains the single biggest source of the gas.

As if there weren't already enough ways of removing the stuff plants need to conduct photosynthesis from the air.

this shit scares me waaaay more than a small increase in temperature. You know its going to leak eventually.

makes sense
this can be used to do more of this
EPA's Wood-Burning Stove Ban Has Chilling Consequences For Many Rural People
because freezing people to death in rural alaska, who wish to burn wood to keep warm, will save the planet way faster
and allow us to fill up more freeways with rush hour traffic

also the glacier melt at the north pole is disrupting the gulf jet stream and if it gets totally fucked, then we get totally fucked

lake kivu is 2000 times bigger than that lake that killed them people (nyos)
it looks like it kills people every 1000 years but i couldnt find anything on the last killing event
if it does go off it'll kill 2 million people but for now they use the methane it holds as energy production so maybe that will help push the event

I don't think there are any useful methods of removing methane from the atmosphere that could become widely adopted in the next 20 years. Maybe we won't freeze to death after all. Shame about all the plants though.
its got 2% of the entire world's CO2 production in a year buried in the lake 2
so it's a double whammy when it explodes

Only brainwashed liberals care about co2 goshin. well, co2 and GMO FOODS INVADING THEIR SUPERMARKETS. They seem to be pretty split over whether or not vaccinations are good.
nothing can be done about climate change without China, India, and SE Asia. Right now all these treaties and agreements are just feel good fluff for westerners.
ok
so china is heading toward 100 gigs of solar

India unveils the world's largest solar power plant | News | Al Jazeera
india is going to double their solar from 9 gig in 2016 to 18 gig in 2017
america has about 26 gig of solar energy output right now btw. So we need to keep up the pace unless we want to be third world in everything :sunny:

India unveils the world's largest solar power plant | News | Al Jazeera
The new plant has helped nudge India's total installed solar capacity across the 10 GW mark, according to a statement by research firm Bridge to India, joining only a handful of countries that can make this claim.
As solar power increases, India is expected to become the world's third-biggest solar market from next year onwards, after China and the US.
Despite the fast-growing solar power industry, India will still need to increase its take-up of solar panels if it is to achieve the ambitious targets set by the government.
By 2022, India aims to power 60 million homes by the sun. It is part of the government's goal to produce 40 percent of its power from non-fossil fuels by 2030.
india is going to double their solar from 9 gig in 2016 to 18 gig in 2017
Mumbai: Solar energy capacity in India could nearly double to 18 gigawatt (GW) this calendar year as large projects get commissioned, despite the short-term hurdles of power curtailment and weak tendering in some states, according to sector experts and power producers.
India had a total of 9 GW of solar capacity, including rooftop projects, as of December. During 2016, the country added about 4 GW of solar capacity—the fastest pace till date. A large number of projects are expected to be completed in the current year.
During 2017, the solar sector is likely to add close to 9 GW of capacity—taking its overall capacity to 18 GW and the country into the league of nations such as China, the US and Japan in terms of solar capacity, according to consultancy Mercom Capital Group Llc.
A total of about 14.2 GW of solar projects are currently under development and tenders for about 6.3 GW are still to be auctioned, Mercom Capital said in a 4 January report.

Bridge to India, a renewable energy-focused consultancy, expects India’s solar market to grow by 90% in 2017 and reach about 18 GW in total capacity. It expects the country to add a total of 8.8 GW of solar capacity in 2017, including about 1.1 GW of rooftop solar installations.

In January 2015, the Indian government expanded its solar plans, targeting US$100 billion of investment[3] and 100 GW of solar capacity,[4] including 40 GW's directly from rooftop solar, by 2022.[5][6][7] The rapid growth in deployment of solar power is recorded and updated monthly on the Indian Government's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy website.[2] Large scale solar power deployment began only as recently as 2010, yet the ambitious targets would see India installing more than double that achieved by world leaders China or Germany in all of the period up to 2015 year end.
In addition to the large-scale grid connected solar PV initiative, India is continuing to develop the use of off-grid solar power for localized energy needs. India has a poor electrification rate in rural areas. In 2015, only 55% of all rural households had access to electricity, and 85% of rural households depended on solid fuel for cooking.[8] Solar products have increasingly helped to meet rural needs, and by the end of 2015, a cumulative total of just under 1 million solar lanterns had been sold in the country, reducing the need for expensive kerosene.[8] In addition, a cumulative total of 30,256 solar powered water pumps for agriculture and drinking water had been installed.[8] During 2015 alone, 118,700 solar home lighting systems were installed, and 46,655 solar street lighting installations were provided under a national program.[8] The same year saw just over 1.4 million solar cookers distributed or sold in India.[8]

Solar Panels, because fuck the environment!
I mean, who needs geothermal and tidal power when you can ruin the rivers and lakes and exchange lives for unreliable energy production.
