If anyone ever needed proof of how stupid scientists are this is it. Anyone with common sense would have covered delicate and sensitive areas of the equipment. This project should have never been built. The world needs more simple things like trees - mankind having destroyed 50% of the world's forest. Spend the money where it is needed first. This only feeds scientists ego. Two kids smashing things together "to see what will happen". This is a potentially dangerous waste of an enormous amount of money. As previous poster said "this is nature's way of saying don't do this idiots". ----------- Nature is in the intensive care ward, and we are ripping out the IVs.

I don't think the 93% for trees is correct as the oceans absorb a large amount of CO2 as well, however I do think it is true that the tropical forests are the major land based source of CO2 gathering. This is why it is critical to stop the slashing and burning of the rain forest and to start reforesting lands around the world. Greece, turkey, the middle east etc all used to have forests. For example Lebanon was known for its massive forests. 50% of the world's forests have been killed and much of that land in tropical places is now barren of topsoil. It is silly to speak of global warming not happening. Even a child knows that if you add more and more CO2 to the air than nature can remove and you get a greenhouse effect. (We don't need a scientific study to tell us it is reality nor others to try and debunk it. This is just the dame "debate until its too late" program that the tobacco industry used). Though this algae idea is really just scientists playing for headlines, we do need to take real and serious action. The world's problems far exceed global warming. We need to get serious on population control and reduction, to be left with a world worth living in. Nature is in the intensive care ward, and we are ripping out the IVs.
