I just read a blog on carbon capture as a solution, and it just seemed to me the wrong way to go.
I think capturing solar energy with solar farms and residential installed solar panels is established and should be encouraged.
Secondly we should do something like "plant a tree in 73" ... Some countries have been ridiculed for destroying their rainforests to create agricultural land. If all they do is burn the wood to create land for agricultural purposes then I understand the sentiment. But why not encourage them to process the wood and create replacements for plastic items?
Instead of burning the wood produced from the clearance ship it out as a biofuel?
It's easy for me to promote these ideas, it's much more difficult to get anything to work because there are many impediments, infrastructure, political shenanigans, to name the obvious.
This site has a wonderful collection of very intelligent and very experienced persons, people with a wide variety of backgrounds, and with the skill and experience to spot scams and the usual "political speak"...
Without turning this thread into a platform for the rivalry between opposing political views, can we come up with some sensible comment on the what we see, and hopefully create something useful!
