Well, that same news organization ran stories on UFOs.

I'm going to wait for actual scientific research before I buy into this process.

Uhh, just Google carbon mineralization. It's a process that occurs naturally, but can be done artificially as well. You're acting like there's zero scientific research on this topic when there's actually quite a bit.

lol, I studied exactly that for my geologic thermodynamics class. I can tell you about injecting liquid CO2 into basalt and the chemical alterations that occur.

You're making quite a leap with the assumption that I claim there's zero scientific research on this topic. It's the scientific research I'm aware of that makes me skeptical of the direct air capture claims.

If you're waiting for "actual" scientific research, is not the implication that there currently is none? Your words there.

Please show me the actual scientific research on this particular process. I need to see the research and conclusions on direct air capture before I buy into what sounds pretty extraordinary.
