Re: [DIYbio] Climate change solutions?

Oddly enough spending the past 2 months in Ireland where there is a 20 cent to 70 cent fee for each plastic bag you take from the store has made me change my behavior to bringing a bag from home often.  

In the US I rarely do which is from my own laziness/lack of planning.  

All I know is that I'm guilty of bringing a reusable bag now because of a 20 cent fee, not because global warming and pollution is in the back of my mind.  Selfish and shortsighted perhaps but I am only human. 

Nothing will change a person's behavior more quickly than making it a money based decision.

hI!

A solution which i believe has been overlooked is to make coal
again... And i am not talking about "biocoal" wich is a sham.
Why don't we just harvest trees after they follow their optimal carbon
intake (a adult tree takes less carbon than a growing tree) and then
bury it deep to sequester the carbon...
Eucalyptus have the advantage of being able to regro fast after being
harvested (they keep the root system and grow fast)

If you want to increase the odds of carbon sequestration you could
burn the wood in a solar vacuum furnace, making coal and releasing
back into the atmosphere the water, nitrogen and oxigen.
The sequestering would be the equivalent of open fiel coal mining but
in reverse, using the same equipment and machines...

Deserts could be used to both plant, burn and sequester the carbon...
