It's always the reminders that we're in the middle of an extinction event that hurt the most.

Hubbert posted:now that the WHO has declared the global COVID emergency to be over, it's time it's true, it's not an emergency anymore. "an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action." it isn't unforeseen anymore and also it's too late to do anything, so no action required

as a reference for how many carbon capture facilities we need to build to break even on carbon emissions: there are 3,400 power plants in the united states. so we need to build 1.5 carbon capture facilities for every single power plant in the nation. we built a few dozen though, so i'm sure we've got it

Oh, I thought you meant 5,000 worldwide. ...

Dystopia Barbarian posted:Oh, I thought you meant 5,000 worldwide. that's also just to offset the carbon being emitted right now. carbon capture uses a ton of energy, like 1.2MWh per ton of co2 captured. coal produces about 1.15 MWh per ton of co2. the good news is that natural gas produces 2MWh per ton. so we need to build more like 10,000, and also 5000 more natural gas plants

I would have actually expected it to take orders of magnitude more energy to capture

Struensee posted:I would have actually expected it to take orders of magnitude more energy to capture I’m sure they’re omitting some huge amount of energy usage. because who would fund them if they took more energy than they could reasonably capture in co2? they definitely aren’t including construction costs and they’re not at all scalable and it’s such an obvious pipe dream.

Xaris posted:That's right! Remember the hole in the ozone layer? Well... guess what? When it got bad, humans banded together and healed it back to normal! No more ozone hole. So calm down dweebs!! If (big if!) climate change gets bad, like the ozone hole, we will band together and heal it back to normal quickly. "In 2017, NASA announced that the ozone hole was the weakest since 1988 because of warm stratospheric conditions. It is expected to recover around 2070." see it'll be fine

Stereotype posted:yeah we only need to build five thousand more From what I've seen the Iceland plant fully operational is supposed to pull 40,000 tons of carbon out. 5000 of those would slurp up 200 million tons which is like point 6 percent of global emissions. So i guess we could reduce emissions by 95% and build 50,000 plants. Or we could just build a million plants and do whatever. More like two million since i guess they need power too. Kinda fucks my brain to think of a million of anything, really. One carbon capture plant for every eight thousand people. Can that possibly be right? We do seem to be farting a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.

wait i kept reading and apparently there are ozone "mini-holes" that show up over the arctic, tibet, & usa due to atmosphere changes "associated with global warming"

Are you sure your math is correct? Also, my understanding is that the primary issue with carbon capture facilities is that they are really only viable in specific places, i.e. they require plenty of clean energy generation nearby, and no other contenders for that energy. The one in island for instance is powered by thermal power that is abundant and in surplus. Such locations are very limited in number, at least for now.
