Viv Forbes: Carbon Capture and Burial – a Biocidal Policy

There are four non-toxic gases-of-life in Earth’s protective atmospheric blanket. None should be captured and buried.

The most abundant is nitrogen – 78%. If there was no nitrogen there would be no plant or animal protein and a very different world.

Next most abundant is oxygen – 21%. Without oxygen most of today’s animal life would die within minutes. Both nitrogen and oxygen can moderate climate by absorbing surface heat and transferring it aloft by convection.
