Green House Gas Problem

[Slugger926]

Okay, I have an engineering problem that needs solved.

We are giving off lots of CO2 emmisions.

I need to find a cost effective way to seperate the O2 to be bottled for pharmacutical uses.

I also need to find a way to take the C left, and form it into diamonds for sale.

Any suggestions on taking care of the green house gas problem?

Why not bubble it through water and sell acid?

There's are these bio-machines called "vegetation" and "algae" that convert CO2 into O2 and accumlates the C in biotissue which can then be harvested. I don't know about the diamond part. Taking care of the green house gas problem could be faciliated by using these bio-machines throughout our engineered environments instead of replacing this infrastructure with less/non- effective systems such as paved surfaces.

Look out a window over any City in the US and you will see what I mean, there is vast wasted space on rooftops that can be vegetated, for instance. This is happening in Berlin and Sweden, and now Chicago, where developers are required to provide a minimum amount of vegetation on their site. It's a start!

This doesn't sequester the CO₂ - it will come back out of solution. BLT has the more elegant solution.

Rather than compress all the way to diamond, you could compress it into a form similar to anthracite and sell it to blacksmiths. Then again, they will turn it back into CO₂...
