Counter-intuitive climate change solution
Profitable approach to cleaning the air
Date:
May 20, 2019

Stanford University
Summary:
A seemingly counterintuitive approach -- converting one greenhouse gas into another -- holds promise for returning the atmosphere to pre-industrial concentrations of methane, a powerful driver of global warming.

Heh!

The resulting carbon dioxide will be all the better for those trillions of trees we are going to plant.

We've had two days of severe weather, including tornadoes, in Oklahoma.  I don't know of any deaths, but there has definitely been damage--buildings destroyed and trees blown down.

And flooding.  We've had a very rainy spring, so the soil is saturated.  There's no place for the water to go except run off the high places into the low places.  Area lakes are 25 feet or more above their normal levels.

P.S. Could the methane trapped in a zeolite array be used as fuel, rather than just heated to release the CO2?

Zeolite is not very weight efficient.

Well if they do belly up I hope their customers are well off.Because the cost of replacement parts will be astronomical

In the past 2 weeks in Phoenix, it's been cloudy and in the 70s much more often than in the 90s, and that's freakin' weird.

Why the end of the road might be near for Tesla.

I think they can still raise cash in POs and for debt, but it's getting dicier.

Been unseasonably cold and rainy all spring here in SoCal.

Went for a hike with the wife on Saturday morning and saw a rattlesnake. First one I've ever seen. I thought it was too early in the season but apparently the superbloom is causing them to be much more prevalent this year.

Q2 numbers for Tesla are critical. Hitting guidance will be huge. Missing guidance could be the end.

I have a stepson living in L.A.  He says they are having lows in the 40s, threatening all-time records.
