Valmy the article states those things.  They are not my assumptions.  Don't go full internet asshat on me.  I was talking about the Seattle Vancouver Run.

Oh for fuck sake dude. I said those were assumptions, not your assumptions.

QuoteYou disagreed with my post.

When did I disagree with any of your posts? I posted something, you asked for clarification, which I provided. Then you started attacking my reading comprehension. I don't recall ever disagreeing with anything you said, except for the reading comprehension part.

Assumptions?  There is pretty good data on how long it takes to drive from Seattle to Vancouver.  Go full languish and make your argument to your last breath, no matter how much you need to tie yourself in a knot doing it.

Valmy, this is as close to a concession on CC's part as you will get.  Take it and run.

Dude I am not even disagreeing with anything you are saying. What would I be making an argument about?

Don't try to comprehend, just bail.

How cute, that you repeat comments made about you.  Some sort of fetish?

Even more funny that he thinks that the US Forest Service could take that on.  :D

Not if he thinks that they can grow trees tall enough to push the moon back into its proper orbit.

Geoengineering concepts like this and more direct methods like carbon air capture are still just meme-tier at this stage. :hmm: For instance the carbon recapture plant being constructed here will annually sequester 4000 metric tons of carbon dioxide once it's up and running. According to this calculator https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator that's the annual carbon emission output of around 900 passenger cars. In the grand scheme of things that's nothing, just proof of concept really. Yet these technologies are always just around the corner and have been for 20 years it feels.

40.000.000 metric tons of carbon dioxide captured and petrified into basaltic rock annually would be like 10 coal power plants, small but at least noticeable on a global scale.

My very general feeling is that if we can scale up shit that messes up the planet enough to make a noticeable impact, we can scale up the stuff that cleans it up as well.

I guess that isn't strictly true. The Law of Entropy does say its a lot easier to break things then it is to fix them....

I was recently reading a very good book on the Comanche empire, and it was quite alarming to read how rapidly an entire society can collapse when the environmental conditions it was built on change drastically. There are few to no direct parallels of course, we have a much better understanding of why and what's happening than they did with the disappearing buffalos, but we are not doing much more to prevent it than they did/could.
