Why was the story on the Columbia University developed CO2 Scrubber buried by the Mainstream Media?

Question

This very plausible solution to the dubious problem of man-made global warming was quickly buried when Environmentalists objected to the technology on the basis that it would not end our use of fossil fuels. Wait a minute; I thought we were seeking an end to using fossil fuels because they add to greenhouse gases?

A careful look at this story and the reactions from both the media and the caring environmentalists; provide proof positive that Global Warming and Environmentalism have everything to do with political control over your life, and nothing to do with the environment.

Believers in GW, the ones who label skeptics as "Deniers", aren't at all interested in facts and science; only the defense of their "Political Position / Religion".

Answer 1

Co2 scrubbers have been in common use for over a hundred years all over the world. Where do you think the Co2 for the local soda fountain drinks comes from, the Co2 for fire extinguishers and dry ice as well many other industrial uses of the gas including the best air-conditioning and refrigerator refrigerant in the world for small and portable units. They are not a new thing and the Columbia one knowing the problems that school has might not have been up to the standards of easily available commercial units.

Answer 2

This CO2 scrubber is a breakthrough in that is is the most cost--effective unit developed so far.

The Warmers are scared ____-less that their smoke & mirrors 'cause' aka.... Gravy Train/Government dole.... will be up-ended by such technology.

Answer 3

The left and Gore do not want any solution to our gasoline problem ,or the high cost of oil.. They have stated in the pass ,that they thought $5.00 would be a good price. Throw the bums out and get to drilling..
