If only this was a very late April Fools joke

weekend blog

First: An apology if my “Not an Easter Bunny” Good Friday blog put you off your dinner. Having seen that thing, I can well understand why women and girls would not want a creature like that in their changing rooms, hospital wards, women’s refuges, prisons and other private spaces.

I don’t know if you saw a BBC report about a project we suckers are paying millions for to extract CO2 from seawater to supposedly save the planet. I was useless at chemistry. But from what little I understand seawater is to be siphoned off and treated with some kind of acid to release CO2. Then the acidic seawater will be treated with an alkali to hopefully reduce its acidity before it is pumped back into the world’s oceans where, being lower in CO2 than the surrounding water, it will then supposedly absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere.

There are so many things wrong with this exercise in utter futility that it’s difficult to know where to start:

• I wonder if adding acid to seawater will be good for or harmful to all the micro-organisms which are at the base of the whole of the Earth’s marine ecosystem?
• How much energy will be required to produce all the acid and alkali for this idiocy?
• How will that energy be produced? From CO2 emitting fossil fuels?
• Don’t a lot of the things which thrive in the sea need CO2 to survive?
• It seems this briliant idea will expensively remove in one year about as much CO2 as China produces in a couple of minutes or less

And then of course, there is the whole issue that rising CO2 is good for the planet as it causes increased plant growth and a greening of the planet:

The inverse is also true. At the start of the 20th Century, atmospheric CO2 levels (the black line on the image below) were at around 300 ppm (parts per million). This was an historic low:

It is estimated that were CO2 levels to fall towards 250 ppm, then plant life would start to wither and we’d all starve. It would actually be rather amusing if some green grifter ‘scientists’ did find a way to reduce atmospheric CO2 to below 250 ppm and thus wipe out all life on Earth. I wonder how the increasingly climate-bothering Mr Attenborough would make any ‘Life on Earth’ programmes when there wasn’t any life on Earth any more thanks to the climate catastrophist idiots cutting the Earth’s atmospheric CO2 levels?

And. of course, there is no ‘climate crisis’:

I could go on. But instead I recommend you look at the readers’ comments on this insanity below an article about this on THE DAILY SCEPTIC. Clearly DAILY SCEPTIC readers are a lot more intelligent that Britain’s supposed ‘scientists’ and useless politicians: (click on link below)
