Bury carbon dioxide?
Discussion
When will this eco-stupidty end? Why hasn't someone, somewhere stood up and said 'hang on, ...'.

Bury a gas? lmao this I have got to see
You do realise that we dig into the ground to gain access to gas which is buried ...IF co2 is going to kill us all it's a good idea. If co2 is not it's an unnecessary expense. But the concept of trapping gas under the surface of the ground is solid.
The answer to a complete none-problem, and a very expensive one at that.

No Global Warming For 15 Years
Press Release 02 April 2012
New UK Met Office global temperature data confirms that the world has not warmed in the past 15 years.
Analysis by the GWPF of the newly released HadCRUT4 global temperature database shows that there has been no global warming in the past 15 years - a timescale that challenges current models of global warming.
In 2001 and 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that the world would warm at a rate of 0.2 deg C per decade in the future due to greenhouse gas forcing. Since those predictions were made it has become clear that the world has not been warming at that rate. Some scientists retrospectively revised their forecasts saying that the 0.2 deg C figure is an average one. Larger or smaller rates of warming are possible as short-term variations.
Global warming simulations, some carried out by the UK Met Office, have been able to reproduce “standstills” in global warming of a decade or so while still maintaining the long-term 0.2 deg C per decade average. These decadal standstills occur about once every eight decades. However, such climate simulations have not been able to reproduce a 15-year standstill

The answer is trees.
Ever wondered where all that wood comes from?
Ever wondered why a huge tree doesn't end up eating the ground underneath it and falling into the hole?
Trees take CO2 from the air, turn the C into wood and pump out the O2. Couldn't be better.
Good lord man. We can't go around suggesting trees. It's far too simple. And they make the place look nice.Ever wondered where all that wood comes from?

GWPF ?? really ??? I think you need to go to a more reliable source , try Gypsy Rose Lee. Way more reliable than that lot of pseud'sAlice in Wonderland territory

This will more than likely end up happening first at Boddam power station which I live close to. There are some tangible benfits for the companies doing this however as they will be re-injecting it into wells which in turn will re-pressurise fields and help to squeeze more oil out of existing fields. Most of the infrastructure is also in place locally at St Fergus.
I'm interested to know if it is only the CO2 they will be capturing or all the other nasty pollutants and particles as well as it is more this pollution that concerns me living locally to it.

They ain't going to give you a billion quid for inventing a tree! what you need is a machine that looks like a tree and does everythign a tree does. Ever wondered where all that wood comes from?
