A dash of lime -- a new twist that may cut CO2 levels back to pre-industrial levels http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1216641633
Scientists say they have found a workable way of reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere by adding lime to seawater. And they think it has the potential to dramatically reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere... [I]t could be made workable by locating [lime production] in regions that have a combination of low-cost 'stranded' energy considered too remote to be economically viable to exploit – like flared natural gas or solar energy in deserts – and that are rich in limestone, making it feasible for calcination to take place on site.
