    limewater

    Portion of CO2 in the air can disappear when it is bubbled through an aqueous saturated solution of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 commonly called limewater.

    A cold product of this chemical reaction is calcite crystal, one of the most common minerals. As crystal of Iceland spar, it has the property of double refraction. As translucent or opaque rock, it becomes the beauty of marble slabs. A hot product is aragonite rock, a less stable form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Aragonite usually occurs as a deposit in limestone caverns, or as a precipitate around hot springs and geysers, or in highly pressurized low-temperature metamorphic rocks. It forms the outer skeletal structures of mollusk and coral and is the only substance for pearls. Pure forms appear white or colorless. Impurity creates varieties of tints: grey, blue, green, or pink.

    Where and when it is possible to engineer lime rain instead of acid rain then atmospheric CO2 will be drastically diminished.

    Great idea Antonio,speaking as a limey,I identify with lime water! Seriously though do
    you think it possible to seed the upper atmosphere with lime water,thereby reducing
    the C02 output?

    Maybe not as large a scale as the atmosphere but aroung the exhaust pipes of automobiles and power plant stacks limewater converters could be fitted.

    will they listen? Fat chance I feel.

    Only if they are convinced that their own necks are also at stake since we are all the same fishes in the same bowl.

    We need to protest rather loudly,like a revolution,then with their power threatened these
    politicians may sit bolt upright and listen to reason.

    Gentle persuasion will also work wonders liking a medicine man urging the patient to take the pill.
