Global warming: tilting at windmills - Data abound indicating that more CO_2 in the atmosphere might actually be a desirable outcome

摘要

There have been several articles published in scientific journals recently regarding carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), but is the effort worth it? Will finding places to put CO_2 instead of releasing it to the atmosphere be beneficial to mankind, or could it have detrimental effects in the long run? After all, isn't CO_2 necessary for plant life? Shouldn't we strive for higher, rather than lower, atmospheric concentrations because of that?
