“We have used the majority of our carbon budget and we are already at dangerous levels of CO2 concentrations, about 400 parts per million. The levels were 250 before industrialization. So the problem is what we have done already and, therefore, what must be undone.” DoneProblemUsedLevelsMillionsDangerousMajorityBudgetsConcentrationCarbonUndoneCo2Industrialization Author:Graciela Chichilnisky
“CO2 from air can replace petroleum: it can produce plastics and acetate, it can produce carbon fibers that replace metals and clean hydrocarbons, such as synthetic gasoline. We can use CO2 to desalinate water, enhance the production of vegetables and fruit in greenhouses, carbonate our beverages and produce biofertilizers that enhance the productivity of the soil without poisoning it. Carbon negative technology is absolutely needed now.” UseWaterTechnologyAirProduceNeededNegativeCleanFruitProductionsProductivitySoilVegetablesMetalsPlasticCarbonFiberPoisoningGreenhousesGasolineCo2SyntheticBeveragesPetroleumHydrocarbons Author:Graciela Chichilnisky
