I'm surprised people still believe CO2 is the culprit. there is so much evidence to the contrary.
This stuff can't be marketed fast enough....
New materials remove CO2 from smokestacks, tailpipes and even the air
“Carbon Dioxide Capture from the Air Using a Polyamine Based Regenerable Solid Adsorbent”
Journal of the American Chemical Society
http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/cor...5-88cf43b87ce0Scientists are reporting discovery of an improved way to remove carbon dioxide — the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming — from smokestacks and other sources, including the atmosphere. Their report on the process, which achieves some of the highest carbon dioxide removal capacity ever reported for real-world conditions where the air contains moisture, appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Alain Goeppert, G. K. Surya Prakash, chemistry Nobel Laureate George A. Olah and colleagues explain that controlling emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. They point out that existing methods for removing carbon dioxide from smokestacks and other sources, including the atmosphere, are energy intensive, don't work well and have other drawbacks. In an effort to overcome such obstacles, the group turned to solid materials based on polyethylenimine, a readily available and inexpensive polymeric material.
Their tests showed that these inexpensive materials achieved some of the highest carbon dioxide removal rates ever reported for humid air, under conditions that stymie other related materials. After capturing carbon dioxide, the materials give it up easily so that the CO2 can be used in making other substances, or permanently isolated from the environment. The capture material then can be recycled and reused many times over without losing efficiency. The researchers suggest the materials may be useful on submarines, in smokestacks or out in the open atmosphere, where they could clean up carbon dioxide pollution that comes from small point sources like cars or home heaters, representing about half of the total CO2 emissions related to human activity.

With weather patterns completely out of whack, global climate change is the single greatest threat to mind-kind...hope we aren't too late...

No one's surprised you're still an Kock Bros/oilco shill.
Maybe they can make breathing filters to capture all that dangerous plant food.
why cant they just re-route it into the g round...
CO2 is a gas in it's natural state. Not so easily done.
Now a catalyst, water, and electricity to turn it into methane would be a righteous venture. Capture CO2 from the air, use solar power to make a usable gas that can be put strait into our existing systems, when burned, it is carbon neutral, because it was already in the atmosphere.
I will assume the commercial applications for this material will make compress tanks of CO2 less expensive.
As I've been saying, nano tech is gonna open some huge improvements
