• Resumen

  • The article examines mechanical responses to the problems of too much carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide concentration is a leading factor in the cause of global warming and climate change. The article notes the carbon dioxide filtering achieved by trees. A number of issues are examined including the fact that filters made with sorbent materials can bind with carbon and removed it from the air, the economic issues contained carbon capture on a massive scale, and the fact that millions of machines deployed could reduce carbon dioxide significantly.
