Using copper to convert CO2 to methane could be game change in mitigating climate change

Researchers from McGill University have designed a new catalyst for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane -- a cleaner source of energy -- using tiny bits of copper called nanoclusters. While other approaches to catalysis introduce more CO2 into the atmosphere, this new method creates a closed “carbon loop”; once the methane that’s been created is used up, any carbon dioxide that is released can be captured and “recycled” back into methane. The McGill team is now working to improve the catalyst’s efficiency, so it can be scaled up for industrial applications. To read the full story online, visit www.lightsourc...

Every time I hear “game changer”, I think of science fiction.

Today's science is the science fiction of the past.

Every time I hear it coming from the governments. I think money laundering! This is an old chemistry experiment that has yet to proven to be scaled up! We cannot get rid of all the Co2. If we do we all die! Everything dies!

Anytime I hear "Climate Change", I think Midwit somehow got a job and does not know what they are talking about. #ClimateChangeDeathCult
