Recycling CO2 might be possible in the future
2 October 2017 - 0While the question of CO2-emissions becomes increasingly worrying for most members of society, the answer from many government officials sounds dim.

"The problem with today's society is that stupid people are full of confidence and intelligent people are full of doubt." Don't quote me on that, I just heard it somewhere and liked it.
