So I guess I was looking up peatbogs, they seem to be a large source, could we turn large areas of the northern continents into peatbogs? Seagrasses or maybe some micro organism I guess could help store it into calcium carbonate? Limestone. So maybe there is a way we could do something like that? I don't know, I just think it's a tall order and will need some engineered process. It's hard to see how.

This is good. We don&#x27;t have a choice. I was absolutely convinced 5 years ago that we must actively take carbon out of the atmosphere and ocean if we are to have any chance as a species. We have to add methane to the list now.<p>The time for talk and arguments has passed. Its time for action, and lots if it, or we are doomed.

The latest UN report on climate change gives us about 2 decades to save earth from irreversible long term damage.<p>The best thing you can do, is to plant and nurture one or more trees. They are the most easiest, cheapest, natural form of carbon capture that the average Joe can do.
