considering how much we *could* prevent with small, easy changes in our lifestyle, it seems awful defeatist to plan an adaptation strategy -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 11:35 9
- I don't think small, easy changes will be enough. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 11:44 1
  - the longer we wait and the less we do the larger the changes will be -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:48

This is why I think more energy/money should be put into carbon sequestration. Alot more. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 11:30 12
- more money is going into it - $3.4 billion of stimulus money is going into it, for a start. The EU is forking out money as well - Roger More Dec 8, 11:52
- [googles] Hmm! That definitely seems more forward-looking. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 11:34 1
  - if the ennergy consumption for CCS can be lowered AND the carbon stored safely then it's pritty smart - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:40
- you're right about more energy it uses atleast 25 % more -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:31 8
  - More than what? -- nm - mara Dec 8, 11:35 1
    - more then without CCS -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:38
  - What exactly uses 25% more energy? -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 11:32 5
