Answer 2

No and Tomcat said it best. We have the most industries that create the most stuff. I haven't looked up the ratio of rich people to middle class to poor people in the US, but if I had to guess it would be about 1/1000. That means most of us here are also struggling to keep our heads above water on a financial basis. Edit: So Adam you want everyone to be as poor as the poorest country to be considered struggling to survive? In the long run it's all due to inflation. If you made what I make in New York you would have to live in a 10 by 10 room and the rent on that room would eat up nearly half your salery. Then add on top of that the price of food, clothing and transportation to get to work. It wouldn't leave much for anything else. So yes that's still struggling to survive, since most likely you can't afford anything else in life. So is exsisting good enough for you? Or do you want a little more?

A forest would be a highly effective and aesthetic solution. Alternatively, you could grow an algae farm. Using CO2 up is something that plants seem to have down much better than humans can build machines to do.

Answer 4

i believe there is this project in japan where they use refrigerators to produce a certain gas in the air that can help to absorb or change the molecular structure of CO2. ive just see it once in tv but never really watched the full scope of the news. thats why im doubtful if it is for CO2, gma seven in the philippines last december or november.

Answer 5
