I personally think this company has lots of promise. This is really cool and if they are able to make it work, it would have many benefits for people all over the earth. One thing I find concerning is how the man in the video said how the earth hasn't got much time when dealing with the issue of climate change. The faster we can get everyone to believe that it is indeed a real issue, is the moment we can start making positive changes in this world. Although scientists have said we have 12 years to try and limit the damaging affects climate change has had on our environment. If nothing is done in the next 12 years, we will face the catastrophic consequences that come with a changing climate. My one question is, what can regular people at home do to help the issue, even if it is only by a little bit ?

After watching the video by BBC, I can most definitely agree that everything that this Carbon Engineering company has created sounds promising towards drastically getting rid CO2 from the atmosphere and turning it into carbonate. I also Agree that time plays a major factor in whether or not this company can create more of it's plants around the world before it's too late and we reach a point where there is no turning back. It has been made well aware that the number scientists gave until we reach a point where the damage we have done is irreversible is 12 years. It will be interesting to see in the near future where this company will be, in terms of number of plants across the world.

This seems like an amazing new fuel source, and also very similar to the fuel cells we learn about in chemistry, but I believe that more research should go into these sort of new fuel sources as without a full understanding of how and why they work the consequences could be catastrophic. But the idea that we are really closing in on such promising opportunities really does give you hope for a better future for the next generations. Also in good time seeing as nonrenewable sources of fuel are becoming more and more scarce and without a proper alternative the future does not look bright.
