They pull CO2 from the air. Store carbon and spit out the oxygen. The issue isn't that there's too much carbon, it's that carbon stored is burned and released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Well never have more or less carbon on the planet than we have now. But, you know this.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans. -

It's the same effect as a factory manufacturing a product with three stations where each station takes one day to complete their operation:Originally posted by BOBB View Post
Day 1: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 0, Station 3 output = 0 - Product output 0
Day 2: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 0 - Product output 0
Day 3: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 1 - Product output 0
Day 4: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 1 - Product output 1
Day 5: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 1 - Product output 1
Day 6: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 1 - Product output 1
Day 7: Station 1 output = 1, Station 2 output = 1, Station 3 output = 1 - Product output 1
You are only getting reduced emissions for 3 days, but on day 4 the same amount of carbon is coming out day after day after day for the rest of eternity. You can keep creating carbon batteries, but they are going to start leaking carbon, one after the other, at the same rate they would have X years ago when they were created. The net effect is identical, the can was just kicked down the road.
Wood in landfills ends up as methane (quite quickly) -- which is much worse than carbon dioxide.Originally posted by BOBB View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Interestingly, while my science/engineering brain can't get onboard that building with wood will be a net benefit to slow global warming, I also don't care about that. Building with wood is super sustainable and the benefits of bulding with wood over most other raw resources is huge. So we both agree on what's best for society long term, we just have a different reason as to what some of the key benefits are.Originally posted by BOBB View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Learning a bit more about the methane off gassing. Certainly decomposing wood does it (13 years). Would be interesting to know how much decomposes vs. dries out, buried etc...more time than I can spend in the next day or two .Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostWichita State, home of the All-Americans.Comment

When the country splits, KS and the midwest might make a boatload on food exports to the People's Republic of California. Since they obviously won't be able to feed their country."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

But then again, the Central Valley probably won't go with the Coast, so.... Maybe these farmers will return the favor and bend them over first."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

Cali cancels lawnmowers, etcComment

Wow. That’s like 1% of carbon emissions in California, which is like 20% of mowers in the US. The US is responsible for like 10% of global carbon emissions which is responsible for about 30% of global waring. At this rate the temperature will raise 1 degree Celsius over the next 50 years instead of 1.00000004 degrees.Originally posted by pinstripers View PostLivin the dreamComment
