There’s no need for any of this carbon capture nonsense.

Based on some info I have found, we are sitting at around 480 ppm carbon in our atmosphere... We know that there has been periods where the carbon has been as high as 8000 ppm. During those times life of all forms thrived across the planet.

On the other hand, at 180 ppm plant life begins to suffocate and die off quite rapidly. That would truly be a catastrophic for all life on our planet. 480 ppm is much closer to the catastrophic side of this scale.

So yeah, saying there is "no need" for this is an understatement.
