How can lime capture twice as much CO2 as it gives off when heated? There's also the issue of the heating process. Sure it gives off CO2 but it also requires energy. Where does that energy come from? The power station of course, which runs by burning coal and generating CO2. This is a silly idea.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8276','Roger'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8276','Roger','That sounds highly illogical to me.

By putting millions of tonnes of lime into the oceans to absorb CO2. Lets look at the "glass principle".... take a glass of water fill it to the brim, now add a stone. What happens to the water.....it overflows. So now add millions of tonnes of what is esstially rock into the oceans and you raise sea levels.... If you live in a flood plain is this something you want, ask Asia if they mind sea levels raising or the New Orleans residents still waitng to go home. The only geo-technology that will work for the oceans is one that does not involve dumping chemicals or rocks into them. Have a nice day......<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8265','intrigued'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8265','intrigued','Ok here we go.\r\nBy putting millions of tonnes of lime into the oceans to absorb CO2.\r\nLets look at the \"glass principle\".... take a glass of water fill it to the brim, now add a stone.\r\nWhat happens to the water.....it overflows.\r\n\r\nSo now add millions of tonnes of what is esstially rock into the oceans and you raise sea levels....\r\nIf you live in a flood plain is this something you want, ask Asia if they mind sea levels raising or the New Orleans residents still waitng to go home.\r\n\r\nThe only geo-technology that will work for the oceans is one that does not involve dumping chemicals or rocks into them.\r\n\r\nHave a nice day......'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Ok here we go.

Lets look at the “glass principle”…. take a glass of water fill it to the brim, now add a stone.
What happens to the water…..it overflows.

So now add millions of tonnes of what is esstially rock into the oceans and you raise sea levels….
