I was so happy to read this article in the Guardian about a new machine that literally sucks the CO2 right out of the air. We are always hearing about ways to stop global warming by reducing our emissions which is fantastic, but in case we are not able to reduce them enough or in time, a group of US scientists have created a machine that can suck a ton of CO2 out of the air."The scientists stress their invention is not a magic bullet to solve climate change. It would take millions of the devices to soak up the world's carbon emissions, and the CO2 trapped would still need to be disposed of. But the team says the technology may be the best way to avert dangerous temperature rises, as fossil fuel use is predicted to increase sharply in coming decades despite international efforts. Climate experts at a monitoring station in Hawaii this month reported CO2 levels in the atmosphere have reached a record 387 parts per million (ppm) - 40% higher than before the industrial revolution."
