Peter Wadhams on the idea of certain panic...
« on: August 21, 2016, 09:48:56 AM »
If we cannot halt the emissions of carbon dioxide, what can we do?


In the end, the only hope we have is to find a way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere once it has got there. Even the IPCC has admitted that we will have to find a way to extract carbon dioxide from the air. The trouble is that they don’t just how we can do that. The most favoured scheme is known as BECCS: bio-energy with carbon capture and storage. Essentially, you plant trees and bushes over vast swaths of ground. These grow, absorbing carbon dioxide in the process. Then you burn the wood to run power plants while trapping, liquefying and storing the carbon dioxide that is released.

  I (fear I) have made the mistake of assumption: I am assuming he is saying here that panic is certain!

 Am I incorrect because I don't like to be incorrect?

They didn't understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man
But I had other plans..........

How about opening a central thread to discuss anything related to Peter Wadhams, instead of clogging the forum?
