Although the process of removing and trapping CO2 and releasing it underground in designated areas may relieve the immediate dangers presented by global warming, but it is only postponing them. It is similar to placing nuclear waste in metal containers and burying them underground, sooner or later it will come back to haunt us. Out of site, out of mind is not a good be motto for restoring our planets natural sustainability. We need to find a way to completely solve the problem, not hide it. Also, it strikes me as ironic that this project tries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but then uses large vehicals and ships which create large amounts of the very gas they are trying to remove. I understand that every little thing helps and this would definately ease the pressure, but it would be ideal if there were someway to thoroughly address this problem we have created.
