The end of the combustion engine as we know it?

[RetroPug]

Carbon dioxide isn't unmanageable, as I said before growing trees takes alot of that carbon back out of the air. There's a prototype station in denmark that releases the carbon into the soil rather than the air

Carbon Dioxide is fussed over as popular scientific opinion is that it contributes to global warming, it is by far not one of the most harmful substances released by burning fossil fuels, of which there are very many. Although large CO2 emissions are a problem as well given that we produce huge quanities of it and Europe has a fraction of the forest land it once did centuries ago.

Nitrogen oxides causing smog, sulfur causing acid rain, mecury poisoning the water supply, particulates causing respiratory problems etc. etc. are not suddenly fine because we planted some trees, are they?

Yes, there are many methods for trying to reduce these emissions, but the reality is that combusting fossil fuels is inherently dirty, produces vast quantities of waste and once released, these pollutants are extremely difficult to control and get back. We just don't see these pollutants as lots of them are invisible gases. Out of sight, out of mind is not a sensible waste management strategy in the slightest.

But then again I drive a Gti-6
