No, i have found a way to explosively release all the clathrate

yeah, I've seen it suggested that occasional burps in the bermuda triangle reduce the buoyancy of boats and planes, sinking them. fwiw, the methane hydrates are a more potent greenhouse gas. for that reason, we need to mine it and burn it, asap.


about the whipped cream, i'd rather use NO, it's more fun.

As long as you're not going to release a massive quantity of methane...

It might make for a great experiment. We'll finally find out then :biggrin:
 

What is "Don't Pay Me to Release CO2 -- I'm Impossible to Find!"?

"Don't Pay Me to Release CO2 -- I'm Impossible to Find!" is a phrase used to express the idea that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions cannot simply be removed or "paid off" to offset their environmental impact. Instead, the focus should be on reducing and preventing CO2 emissions in the first place.

Why is CO2 emissions reduction important?

CO2 emissions are a major contributor to climate change and global warming. By reducing CO2 emissions, we can help mitigate the negative effects of climate change on our planet and its inhabitants.

What are some ways to reduce CO2 emissions?

There are many ways to reduce CO2 emissions, including using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable transportation practices. Individuals can also make a difference by reducing their personal carbon footprint, such as by using public transportation, eating a plant-based diet, and supporting companies with sustainable practices.

Can we completely eliminate CO2 emissions?

While it may not be possible to completely eliminate CO2 emissions, we can significantly reduce them through conscious efforts and changes in industry and individual behaviors. Some scientists are also exploring technologies for directly capturing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere.

What is the role of government and policy in reducing CO2 emissions?

Government and policy play a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions by implementing regulations and incentives that promote sustainable practices and discourage high levels of emissions. It is important for governments to prioritize and invest in sustainable solutions to address the global issue of CO2 emissions.
