This show needs to be on American TV. Why do Canadians do everything better?

The Alberta oil sands are taking their carbon dioxide pollution & pumping it underground to store it (aka carbon sequestration).

The clip shows that we can't really put carbon dioxide "away" anywhere. The process is legal & takes the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere (which is what we want to deal with climate change) but, the carbon dioxide is still being produced, it's still there.

Meanwhile, we keep producing the oil sands & using this oil, which is creating more carbon dioxide itself.

[zcaron]

@lightdark99 The point is that the carbon dioxide being pumped underground could have the potential to be released. In the big picture of things, we - as a country - would be best placed to put our investments into more than just sequestration. Energy efficiency technologies and renewable energy technologies come first to mind as the most effective ways to lower carbon dioxide emissions.

@QCprepper That has nothing to do with what I said, nor what this video is about.

[zcaron]

@LivesForJihad That isn't true.

[lightdark99]

@zcaron But you can't destroy carbon, or create it. It's just there, and the planet's natural way of dealing with excess carbon is to dump it in the ground. Ideally we should convert it to carbon and oxygen again but the planet has systems to do that naturally. If someone can show me how this practice negatively affects us beyond "Oh but its still there", please enlighten me.

@TomboysTv Because it's winter nine months of the year, and anything that can distract us from it is cause enough to the best of our abilities.

The aluminium and fertilizer industries produce toxic waste and capture it too, if they let it into the air it'd kill everything down-wind.

Not CO2, fluoride, they then put it in the water supply.

Toothpaste fluoride is tin fluoride and does somewhat work topically, toxic if ingested, the waste put in the water is hydrofluorosilicic acid, an order of magnitude more toxic, it has no benefits and is banned in 14 nations.

@LivesForJihad

zcaron was just saying (his/her) opinion. There's no reason for you to bite their head off. Anyways, it's a valid point.

@LivesForJihad ZCARON was just explaining the clip. There's no need to call someone names, especially on a Canadian video.
