Arrow Re: The solutions to Global Warming include. . .

So I was watching evening news and they gave a report on the meth-freak-metal-thieves now stealing the plaques off graves. Anyway, it prompted this fun & practical idea for solving global warming by sequestering carbon.... You're gonna love this.

We start pyrolizing the dead! That's right; turn the bodies into charcoal, then bury with no box, and plant switchgrass on top. Resources saved on the box, carbon sequestered, renewable fuel terra preta'ed, karma satisfied.

Better yet, if the body form stays together, we can have ourselves put in poses before carbonization, and mounted or otherwise utilized afterward. Well cared for, a body should last thousands of years.

We don't stop with just the recent dead either; we start digging up all bodies & carbonizing them, redeeming their sins of having dared to live in the first place by keeping them from sneaking back into the cycle. Honor thy father & they mother; have them carbonized today.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
