MIT engineers develop a new way to remove carbon dioxide from air.
Most methods of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of gas require higher concentrations, such as those found in the flue emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants. A few variations have been developed that can work with the low concentrations found in air, but the new method is significantly less energy-intensive and expensive, the researchers say.
The technique, based on passing air through a stack of charged electrochemical plates, is described in a new paper in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, by MIT postdoc Sahag Voskian, who developed the work during his PhD, and T. Alan Hatton, the Ralph Landau Professor of Chemical Engineering.

Your first line is the only one worth anything. The last two need citations, big time, from real scientific studies.
The planet doesn't give a damn about the temperature, or CO2. It will endure, barring some astronomical disaster. What a hotter planet will do, however is give us short-sighted humans big problems.
The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams.

Oh, that's a *huge* relief. My eyesight is fine. No wonder everyone's talking about it as a big hoax!
