A comment on Climate change: IPCC report is 'code red for humanity'. Parent comment
Poked around a bit more.
1 ton of carbon bricks ~= 100 gallons, about the size of a nice fish tank.
5.5 billion tons of carbon ~= Mt Everest. That's a lot of bricks.
We add ~25 gigatons of carbon into air yearly. ~28 Mt Everests.
Scale is staggering.
We'll probably have to drop the bricks into the ocean.
Or maybe use all those bricks to build sea walls to protect our coasts.
FWIW, I've always assumed we'd pump carbon back into the ground. I'm liking the idea of making bricks.
