Posted Tue Feb 19 2008: from Science: New Materials Can Selectively Capture Carbon Dioxide, Chemists Report http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1203390939 "UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science. The scientists have demonstrated that they can successfully isolate and capture carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, rising sea levels and the increased acidity of oceans. Their findings could lead to power plants efficiently capturing carbon dioxide without using toxic materials."

The ApocaDocs say: This could be very important -- though there's no description of how much energy it takes to produce the "zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, or ZIFs," nor what we'd do with megatons of ZIFs that had absorbed all the CO2 they could absorb, nor what other unintended consequences... but here's hoping!
