#like between this and the‚ like‚ glomming up microplastics with okra goo like silly putty

A new way of sucking carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists. The authors say that this novel approach captures CO2 from the atmosphere up to three times more efficiently than current methods. The warming gas can be transformed into bicarbonate of soda and stored safely and cheaply in seawater.

#! #i've been feeling SUCH despair lately abt what we've done to our planet #and the fact that scientists are out there chipping away diligently and ingeniously at the problem and getting seemingly-promising results #is just. SO comforting to me??? #like between this and the‚ like‚ glomming up microplastics with okra goo like silly putty #it's like. oh maybe things aren't totally irretrievable after all?? #anyway. not equipped to evaluate this myself (although the article quotes an uninvolved scientist saying it‚ quote‚ #''stands a good chance of transforming the CO2 capture efforts'') #and it's not like it's getting implemented in a broad way yet but. #consolations #global warming #environmental #science
