Opinion: As our climate outlook worsens, we must explore options for large-scale carbon capture [Opinion]
We need a method to bridge time to be able to fully address climate change and we need a bridge technology and we need it now.in a large-scale machine that pulls carbon out of the air. The machines pull carbon out of the air and turn it into carbon bricks that can be used for construction. We can build these machines at scale.
This proposal is to calculate how much carbon countries are putting into the air and water and designate each country’s portion. Then, calculate how many of these new machines each country will need to operate. The United States can build them and sell them to countries around the world. Of course, each country must construct their own solar farms to provide the necessary energy to operate the machines. Wealthy nations can provide machines to poor countries.
Europe should be easy because ocean water is warming and if the Gulf Stream stops pulling warm water north, much of Europe will be under a sheet of ice. Therefore, Europeans should jump at the opportunity to take immediate action to prevent the effects of climate change. Europeans should also jump at the chance to help poor countries muster their portion of carbon reduction in the air.
Yes, there is a cost to build these machines. The cost is literally nothing compared to the cost of continuing to allow carbon in the air. What will the cost be of the projected 2 billion people who will be dislodged by climate change? The loss of hundreds of millions of animals to just one series of wildfires in Australia is horrid. We could see whole towns disappear to wildfires right here in San Diego.
Simultaneously, we can commit to planting a trillion new trees around the world and by saving the Brazilian rainforest. We must save the planet by acting now to create a time bridge to the future where technology will create a long-term climate solution.
