What are 3 things that are being done to lower CO2 in the Atmosphere?

Answer 1

The first method is coal scrubbers to make clean coal generation. If 100% of all coal burning plants had this equipment installed we could see changes in our atmosphere of over 0.0001% over the next several thousand years.

The second possible solution to curbing man induced Carbon Dioxide is to complete shut down all power, heat and air conditioning to all building that are occupied by humans. Our buildings produce over 50% of all our current emissions and almost 3% of all CO2 produced annually. If we were to do this, massive death would occur to a large portion of the planet and the decomposition of these individuals would cause a temporary rise in the total CO2 concentrations. After decomposition was complete we could see the lowering of the overall rise by almost 1 ppm per decade.

The third alternative would be to completely shut down 100% of all human activity. While this would again cause short term gain in CO2 levels during the decomposition of the dead, we would see overall rise of CO2 slow to almost nothing.

It should be pointed out that humans make up less then 7% of all CO2 produced and less then 0.3% of all green house gases.

The current belief that CO2 levels have risen dramatically is very politically motivated. The current claimed rise from 290 to 390 ppm (a total atmosphere change of 0.01%) is based on very questionable data. The 290 PPM number comes from Glacial samples. Current levels near these sites remains about 290 PPM (no change). The above plans for CO2 reduction may prove to have far less impact then claimed. Cost to human life could be much higher then stated.

Answer 2

1. We are trying to use renewable energy instead of fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) energy.
2. We are trying to plant more trees around the world.
3. We are trying to reduce our use of fossil fuel energy.

Answer 3

1. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.
2. Implementing carbon capture and storage technologies to trap CO2 emissions from industries and power plants.
3. Promoting reforestation and afforestation efforts to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through tree planting and forest conservation.
