China is Building Carbon Capturing Plants to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

[Danbones]

But they aren't sucking up pollution, these plants as I posted, are for turning coal into gas (like the nazis used to do) and capturing the carbon from that process.
So this will not effect the atmospheric pollution at all.

Btw: the Chinese 68 million car math is insignificant to the US's 270 million cars, and I don't see the allegorical worshipers volunteering to give up their autos, they just want others to suffer.

have you seen the pictures from Bejing?

Beijing Air Pollution: Real-time PM2.5 Air Quality Index (AQI)

Compare it to your city. Mine shows as 22. Oh and check out some of the other cities in China. fun little website really

they need something desperately. If they could make money sucking up the pollution? they might get rich from Bejing alone.

Imagine what the planet's atmosphere would be like without our great Boreal Forest and the Amaxon to absorb all of that carbon. Why, maybe even the climate might change!

 

[Danbones]

Like we have every day for the last 4.8 Billion years?

Egypt and the Sahara were green 12000 years ago as proved by the water wear marks on the sphinxes...and where did those two and half mile high glaciers go?

but did you check out the website? Did you check your cities pollution against theirs? come on, man!

I don't want to imagine that. Don't make me.

as an aside, my maple tree that sprung up in my back yard after a pine tree was cut down drops its' seeds and one landed in an empty planter and started to grow. I'm going to take it into the wilds with me and release it back into nature. I'm thinking I might do this a fair amount of times...Plant my own forest. Stickin' to da' man where ever I can. lol

This part of North America was a thick, hardwood forest for thousands of miles in three directions (it must have been bloody beautiful) only four centuries ago and a big part of Western Europe also was 2000 years ago.

Good thing that none of that affected the atmosphere.

 

[Danbones]

I did Twila, ( it is an interesting site too thanks for that ).
My town doesn't rate a report, and I have seen the Chinese pollution, and yes, with that many people in that amount of space, it is horrendous.

The global economical recession should bring the pollution down a great deal over the next couple years in a much more substantial way just like the reduction in US productivity reduced the pollution in my area that used to blow up from the US a few years ago.

This is why I NEED a time machine. I want to go back and smell the world before our kind of pollution came along.

 

[Danbones]

Yeah, I'll go with that sentiment for a lot of reasons besides pollution
(which to be fair I won't miss)
LOL...the fishing!

I found this funny.

It seems that you are not located in Beijing, and that the closest city from your location is Regina Saskatchewan (distance 15242KM).
Do you want to see the Regina, Saskatchewan Air Quality Index instead?

I sure do/did. It's 7.

What is it in Metro Van?

It's 30. With Regina at 7 do we need a carbon tax?

China Seeks Mastery of Carbon Capture and Storage

Health, soil and water

Then there are environmental concerns. In a report issued in 2009, Greenpeace International called carbon capture and storage technology a "false hope" to save the climate, saying that "safe and permanent storage of CO2 cannot be guaranteed."

Greenpeace argued that while it is not currently possible to quantify the exact risks, any CO2 leakage from underground has the potential to affect the surrounding environment, raising the dangers of polluted soil and water, and even suffocation.

However the truth is a little different then the head line I guess...
Like all this carbon tax screw job is.

The article in the OP isn't about coal power plants, it's about taking the carbon out of coal to fuel plants.
lol

The Yanchang Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Project, located in the Shaanxi Province, will be China’s first investment in a facility that turns carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal into gas fuel plants. Once fully operational, it would capture about 400,00 to 800,000 tons of CO2 every year, according to AFR Weekend. That’s about the same reduction that could be expected by taking 80,000 cars off the streets for a year

china has 70 million vehicles this year.
LOL
Even if they get all 8 plants up this will make that 69.36 million.
Not much of a change really in the grand scheme of things

BUT IT WONT CHANGE THE OUTPUT OF ANT COAL POWER PLANTS AT ALL

A smallish volcanic eruption of no consequence. However

stuffs

Perhaps after the trees and plants capture the carbon they can be gathered and pressed into something that could replace coal. Just sayin, . . .

If you want to see what the great North American hardwood forest looked like, there is an elk hunting scene at the beginning of the movie Last of the Mohicans that was filmed in some little piece of first growth Carolinian forest somewhere in (the Carolinas?) that had escaped cutting, all along. It would have been a natural wonder of the World, once.

Good movie, btw about real historic events.

Make sure you pick a clean period of earths atmospheric history. Good luck.

I was just reading they found sycamore trees 45 feet around back in the day in Ohio

Wow, look at Mexico, they have a city, Monclova, in the high 800s

You spelled genocide wrong.

Would man eating flying reptile/birds be worse then smaller particles in the air?

It was really cold before and it really stunk, rotting dinosaurs and stuff.

Be glad you're in a warm comfortable climate with only a few smelly posters.

 

[Curious Cdn]

Ah, yes. Forget it ever happened. That's the way that we usually deal with that history.

 

[Vbeacher]

Here's a small sample of how many coal plants there are in the world today.

The EU has 468 plants building 27 more for a total of 495

Turkey has 56 plants building 93 more total 149

South Africa has 79 building 24 more total 103

India has 589 building 446 more total 1036

Philippines has 19 building 60 more total 79

South Korea has 58 building 26 more total 84

Japan has 90 building 45 more total 135

AND

CHINA has 2363 building 1171 total 3534

But here come our CANADIAN politicians that are going to shut down our 15 remaining plants and save the planet !!

Do you have a source for this? I'd like to use it in future arguments.
