There is also a brilliant scene in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia about how you can't unmix things: love a bit of effective science communication

As I say when asked similar in public talks - it's like trying to clean the air in an aircraft hangar by waving a hoover nozzle around.

All tech fixes like this are to make us feel good but do nothing in reality for the planet as a whole.
We only are the destroyer of the planets ecosystems,due to our need of only looking after ourselves.
Whatever we do ,we destroy something.
All Life is the Balance of food!

Barry Commoner admonished 40 years ago that dilution is *not* the solution to pollution.

Agree. It's the same in the UK heating industry. The physical laws (2nd law) are completely being ignored. 90% of domestic boilers are massively oversized. Water is the most energy intensive common substance to heat and we are getting it so wrong
