Plants are now bad for the environment?
Orwellian “GreenThought” (I should trademark GreenThought) continues to flip reality into the opposite of reality, much like 1984’s Right Think.
CO2 is plant food, akin to how oxygen is people food. Essential gases for life.
This outfit below wants to “capture” CO2 by incinerating the remains of dead plants.
(For profit.)
This inhibits nature’s cycle of plant growth and plant decay, which further fertilizes new plant growth. (I grew up on a farm.)
GreenThought skews reality.
===================
“Two dozen companies announced plans Thursday to buy $53 million worth of carbon-removal credits from Charm Industrial, which converts corn stalks, leaves, and other waste leftover from agricultural harvests into bio-oil.
Charm then pumps that carbon-rich oil underground to be permanently stored.
It’s a way to prevent organic matter from breaking down and further warming the atmosphere.
The company says the oil hardens within days and it estimates the carbon dioxide is locked away for 1 million years.
… “This purchase is super helpful for fundraising and going out and building up capacity,” Peter Reinhardt, the company’s cofounder and CEO, told Insider.
⬤ “It’s hard to build capacity for something that doesn’t have demand, so a signed contract is really impactful.”
… For its part, Charm Industrial buys agricultural waste from farmers and heats it to high temperatures in a contraption called a pyrolyzer.
The process creates both bio-oil and biochar. The bio-oil is pumped into wells and salt caverns that store industrial waste …”
