Could we put them into pods and throw them at Mars so we start dumping Co2 on Mars for Musk's Mars Mushroom Mart! too grow.

The rocket you use to sling them at Mars will produce orders of magnitude more CO2 than it could carry to Mars.

And this is completely ignoring the CO2 cost of building the rocket.

Remember the slingshot company?

THAT is a viable reason for them

Even then, the amount of energy required to accelerate the CO2 to escape velocity will still result in more CO2 being created.

Well, then.

We should just put this entire debate to bed, shouldn't we?

JUST ONE MORE THING

Go fuck yourself

Could? Yes. It'd probably be the most expensive way to get rid of CO2, though.

So? I in this context that is a plus not a minus!

How is that a plus? If it's more expensive it means you're pulling less CO2 out of the atmosphere than if had gone with a cheaper method.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CONCERNED WITH EXPENSE RATHER THAN SURVIVAL?

Serious question.

-- musk. (and ppl like Thiel cooncerned with eternal life (Rocks, Roths, etc)....

Lovelock (of the Gaia Hypothesis) had the bright idea to put all the CFCs onto all the old ICBMs and launch them at Mars to kick start the greenhouse effect there.

Ah yes, this was all planned from the start, we actually need that CO2! Wait a second... wouldn't it be more efficient to transport solids and burn them on mars?

Okay, I only responded because of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. I watched a video about lovelock and Gaia Hypothesis yesterday.
