Is it pointless?

[kombat]

Is it pointless that I keep paying my CO2 guy all this money to keep refilling my CO2 tanks, so that I can just eventually burp it all out into the atmosphere and help warm the planet?

Hey, trees gotta eat too right. Can't form ATP without CO2.

The more co2 there is in the air the happier plants are, its one of their foods.

Where do you think the CO2 guy gets it from? The atmosphere. Duh.

Well, you *could* drink your beer flat...

It's up to you.

 

[Melana]

Start the flat beer trend.

 

[fartinmartin]

Carb with sugar, so you don't have to buy co2

 

[aiptasia]

It's all pointless. While Rome burns, do what makes you happy.

Guess it's pointless to keep breathing too, since with every breath you're exhaling CO2.

Use a spundig valve and capture the CO2 from fermentation to carbonate the beer.

Just seal up your house really good so the CO2 stays contained. Of course you'll die and then your decomposing body will cause the globe to warm when no one is there to maintain the sealed house.

There is no more (nor less) CO2 on the planet than there was 65 million years ago. The only difference is where it is in the ecosystem. A certain amount is in the atmosphere, but there are also significant amounts in the oceans, the plants & animals, even the rock & soil contain CO2. All we're doing is juggling the ratios.
