    This site explains it to you. You can make 20 million dollars for producing useful products from carbon dioxide.

    This is what I call a genuine way to tackle this.

    Plants breathe CO2...

    Researchers to See How Much Carbon Dioxide Forests Can Take
    June 21, 2017 — Researchers at a British University have embarked on a decade-long experiment that will pump a forest full of carbon dioxide to measure how it copes with rising levels of the gas, a key driver of climate change.

    The overwhelming majorities of the scientific community claim that CO2 has a property of trapping -backfeeding-backforcing heat of the Sun.

    That can heat building in the North for free.

    Since none of the overwhelming majorities of the scientific community is in a hurry to win 20M and make a machine using the claimed property of CO2 the claim is a pure fraud.

    Each and every overwhelming majority should be tried in the Court of law for fraud and extortion.

    The IPCC and everyone involved should be, too.

    Carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide = sleeping gas. ;)

    I kid, I kid.

    Oh, if I could fall asleep so easily.

    I am not 18 anymore.

    Looking at my dad I may say it is genetics.

    It is not easy at all.

    No kidding.

    A major industrial source of CO is producer gas, a mixture containing mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen, formed by combustion of carbon in air at high temperature when there is an excess of carbon. In an oven, air is passed through a bed of coke. The initially produced CO2 equilibrates with the remaining hot carbon to give CO. The reaction of CO2 with carbon to give CO is described as the Boudouard reaction......

    What did I just say?

    I do not have that sleep problem. I woke up around 7:45 to watch the news and eat. I then took a nap that lasted till 2:15. Ready for another nap but plan to watch TV.

    Lucky you.

    My LED TVs are just for decoration.

    The question I posted was:

    "For a good night sleep?

    Who wouldn't?"

    It is like a call for compassion and empathy.

    Can you do such things or you are disabled?

    My invention takes the CO2 directly from the air, and through a secret process that I call "photosynthesis", produces life-sustaining oxygen! Yes that's right, ladies and gentlemen!

    Now that you planted that idea in our heads, perhaps some of us can make the idea blossom.

    Get checked for sleep apnea. And maybe you ought to exercise. Check blood pressure to see if it is too high and needs controlling.

    I shall expect a check by e mail.

    NullSpot, you clever devil, how did you EVER come up with such a brilliant solution?

    Now would you PLEASE correct the spellting of your Destroyter name?

    Interestingly enough, the CO2 is not converted into oxygen. That oxygen comes from water taken in.
    The CO2 all goes into the production of cellulose.

    Your'e welcome.
