Sorry, it's the wrong question. Can we replant them with new trees that will thrive in decades ahead FAST ENOUGH TO BRING CO2 DOWN? The answer is no. Not until we stop ground extraction of carbon and add other recapture because trees grow slowly. They are part of the answer, but not all of it.

The temperature is increased by MECHANICAL COMPRESSION with no heat transfer and that DOES NOT violate the second law. The works out that it dramatically improves efficiency while maintaining high power. Rough estimates show this can cut all fuel usage by as much as 1/3. Engines alone is about 1/6.

Bob Tipton @luditetechy.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The heat from the power cycle, right hand side, is dumped into colder gas at low absolute temperature. The the gas is compressed, raising its temperature above ambient, where it's dumped. It looks like heat flows from cold to hot, but there IS NO HEAT FLOW because it's in an insulated cylinder.

This is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary review and it's been under review for six months. Despite objections to the contrary, it OBEYS the second law of thermodynamics. The video below explains how it's done. darkskyinnovativesolutions.substack.com/p/the-carnot...

We're all told it's impossible. It's not. For over 50 years Carnot's Thermal Efficiency formula, in every physics book, as capped fuel efficiency at 33% to 50%. We have an article, under peer review, which uses Carnot's formula to disprove Carnot's formula. The new limit is 100%.

Libertarianism always had a flaw and this amplifies it to the max. The basis is "I should be free to do what I want so long as it doesn't harm others," ignoring who defines what harm means? Behind they words is, they get to decide what harms us and that's anarchy/tyranny.

Putting others before self and punishing those who don't was the foundation of America and democracy. Instead, this put selfishness before service and today; We're paying the price. Games theory proves that pure self interest destroys, but altruism builds strength.
