Worlds largest vacuum to suck carbon out of the sky (and money out of wallets)

In a world of turmoil, trust the Sydney Morning Herald to ask the key question of the day:
Should Australia house a giant vacuum cleaner to suck carbon from the sky?
In May this year, on the flat plains of an Icelandic geothermal reserve, a gigantic vacuum cleaner designed to suck planet-warming carbon dioxide out of the sky was switched on.

The machine, called Mammoth, would not be entirely out of place on a Mad Max set….

The big machine in Iceland and will soon start pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere each year and turning it into calcium carbonate rock underground.

In a world where humans make 37 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually the project will be able to remove 36,000 tons of CO2 each year, which is approximately one millionth of human annual emissions.

Cost estimates are said to be “closer to $1,000 a ton” to remove the CO2. Effectively, we’re spending 36 million dollars US to convert one millionth of human annual emissions of a fertilizing gas into limestone rock we don’t need.

Biden just has to be helping finance this contraption somehow.

Enviro-whackos suck.   Here's some extra proof.

We already have huge machines sucking the CO₂ out of the air.  They are called "trees."

Along with every other form of vegetation known.

Actually it's algae that does the vast, vast majority of that task.

Read a study recently where they measured, and the summer crop season significantly lowers CO2, then goes back up in the winter.

True.

Wonderful. There is no better way to collapse the food chain than to starve the plants, especially the phytoplankton that oxygenate the oceans. (Maybe we should add oxygen tanks to the pantry.)

Weapons grade stupidity abounds.
