Don't Pay Me to Release CO2 -- I'm Impossible to Find!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a hypothetical scenario where an individual claims to have a significant amount of CO2 to release into the atmosphere and asks how much others would pay to prevent this. Participants engage humorously, suggesting various amounts and joking about the consequences of such an action. The conversation touches on the environmental implications of releasing clathrate hydrates, which contain methane, a potent greenhouse gas. There are references to the potential dangers of methane release, including its impact on buoyancy in the Bermuda Triangle. The dialogue combines playful banter with serious undertones about climate change and the urgency of addressing greenhouse gas emissions.

Okay guys, i have a significant amount of CO2 i can release into the atmosphere, how much will you pay me not to.
PS, there is no way you will find me.

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

"Polarity underlies surface tension." Oh. Learned something new.
 
Why don't you use it to make a mountain of whipped cream?
 
I can picture the next Bond movie plot now...
 
Oh come on guys, how much will you pay me not to do the dirty deed?

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.

Thank you. That's one million dollars from the gentleman with the blue face.

Do I hear a 1.1 million?

$25 dollars per ton of CO2. Not a penny more.

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:
