Artificial Trees to Cut Carbon
August 31, 2009 at 9:27 am 2 comments
Engineers say a forest of 100,000 “artificial trees” could be deployed within 10 to 20 years to help soak up the world’s carbon emissions.
The trees are among three geo-engineering ideas highlighted as practical in a new report.
The authors from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers say that without geo-engineering it will be impossible to avoid dangerous climate change.
The report includes a 100-year roadmap to “decarbonise” the global economy.

Artificial trees…? Can you go there and build an artificial fire and have an artificial camping trip.
Reducing CO2 emissions still seams simpler then building fake forests.

Sounds weird when you think about fake trees doing something good to the environment!
Wouldn’t planting real ones sound better?
And talking about carbon emission, some countries found an odd way to prevent it by bulding roundabouts! Funny ey?
Cheers!
