A comment on Engineers are developing new ways to convert greenhouse gases to fuel. Parent comment
It's necessary to compare the two things:
1 - we drill out more fossil fuels and burn it
2 - we convert atmospheric CO2 to fuels and burn it
#2 is theoretically infinite and CO2 levels never increase. #1 is very finite and the longer we do it the higher CO2 levels increase.
