Yeah, but then you need to cut them down and burry them so that decomposition doesn't release the co2 again. And it takes a lot of land, which can be prohibitive on the scale we'll need.
Even if we went to zero emissions soon, we'd still want to decrease CO2 over time to reverse the effects of climate change. Capturing co2 is always going to be much more energy intensive than not emitting it in the first place, but sometimes you don't have another choice.
There's a great video by Scott Manly on the subject if you want to learn more. It'd smaller than some nukes we've tested, and would land somewhere around the equator between the Atlantic and China if it does hit. It looks surprisingly feasible to deflect, but it'd be a time crunch to put a mission together in only a couple of months. Plus it might deflect it into hitting a different country.
No problem! Embed just means the picture lives on a different computer, and you get it from there.
I haven't used the website much since I came from the Reddit blackout, but that issue sounds like an issue with the website. I think the apps are a better experience than the website. They let you save comment drafts, use volume keys to go up and down in the comments section, and get back to where you were before opening a post rather then back to the top.
How experimental are we going? There's some cool research into laser etching data into crystal cubes. That should be very stable, but I don't know how you'd get to the tech.
Welcome! No, communities are our version of r/. Instances are like the server your account or community lives on. Yours is .world, mine is sh.itjust.works. Look after the user name. .world that's a pretty good one.
The instance admins can ultimately decide what sorts of things they want on their instance. Some will allow uploading large files but others won't because it's storage intensive. But you can embed from other sites too, so it's not a big deal.
Most all the instances talk with each other, so once your set up, there isn't much of a difference. Just make sure your using the 'all' (all instances) instead of the 'local' (only .world) tab.
Btw, you on mobile or desktop? Lemmy has a lot of good apps, I'm using boost right now.
Looks like they hovered for 1000 seconds. It was previously stress limited such that the joints would break after just a few seconds. I think they might still be tethered for a power source, I haven't seen any of these micro flapping bots include a battery yet, and they didn't mention that they did.
They do use their liquid assets for that, but not selling the illiquid ones like art and real estate. I think it'd be a shame to turn cathedrals into shopping malls, but maybe it's worth putting the money to good use.

Another interesting option is fertilizing parts of the ocean for algie to grow. Cody'sLab has an interesting video on a possible way to do that with intentionally crashing astroids into the ocean. https://youtu.be/z7u_IqzkJzE https://youtu.be/2zQb_OitsaY/?t=13m40s
All of these, plus mechanical direct air carbon capture are methods of carbon capture. The right answer will likely be some mix of all of them.
