A little lime with that ginned up CO2


Cquestrate Intro Video from cquestrate on Vimeo.

I am more than a little skeptical about CO2 doing much of anything so far as “global warming” now rebranded “climate change” is concerned. But I can certainly see the politics and economics of dumping lime into the ocean as making a weird sort of sense.

If I am a tar sands producer and I want to avoid the “Green Shift” confiscation I could pay people to make lime from limestone and dump it into the ocean. I then get a credit for CO2 sequestration - which may be bogus but is the required indulgence these days. If the cost of making the lime can be brought low enough this chap will have a market.
