Why are we so worried about global warming when we have the technology to fix it?

Question

Ok, I have a question. Global warming is a huge threat due to the rise in CO2 levels, causing more heat absorbtion and less polar ice to reflect the sun's energy, yada yada yada. Also the increase in co2 has now been predicted to turn our oceans into acid by 2100. Yet, NASA has the technology, originally developed for manufacturing a habitable atmosphere on Mars, to turn CO2 into oxygen, through a process called solid oxide electrolysis. Why can't we just make a bunch of these oxygen generator cells and distribute them around the planet to reduce CO2 levels? They sound inexpensive to manufacture. If we can make a planet of co2 habitable, why can't we make our own planet habitable? Here is a link to some info on these generator cells. http://ares.ame.arizona.edu/mip-ogs/ogs_principle.html

Answer 1

It is not that simple my friend. without going into all the yada, yada, yada, as you put it, there are millions of people on earth...zilch on Mars. there would have to be a cooperation among governments and tons of money and technology involved.

This is a serious problem...our world is headed for drastic changes that involves more than global warming.

The discovery channel is a reliable source and display a wealth of information on the status of our planet and its surroundings.

Answer 2

if tht was thth simple why do u think we r facing so many prob's in our home planet . it's not tht simple. there must be somthoing else to the implementation of tht . the one u were talking abt was there almost 2 years back .

Answer 3

may be that tech only works in lab n not in real environment . may be that is just to fool people n no such thing is there n it is just a imagination otherwise something wud have come out till now.
