Cemetary of ''CO₂ disconnection machines''

I was shocked when I saw this picture…. I could’n believe my eyes. It shows the scale at which humanity is destroying the environment and within a flash you know “this is wrong”. Probably equal to the hunters from “Satao”, one of Kenya’s last over 50 years old elephants who was poached a few weeks ago, we see the loggers proudly showing the fantastic ‘result’ of their hunting on trees.

While seeing this picture I became much more aware of the scale of tree logging. Suddenly the concept of “manmade deserts” became clear for me. We have over 2 billion hectares of them and now I understand how that is possible. But also the side-effect of this tree hunting became clearer. Is it strange that CO₂ levels in the atmosphere rise? We can ask ourselves the following questions:

1) Is CO₂ concentration rising in the atmosphere because of using fossil fuels

or

2) Is CO₂ concentration rising in the atmosphere because we have destroyed Mother Nature’s “CO₂ disconnection machine”?

The logged trees that you see on the picture above, are the result of this “CO₂ disconnection machine”. The stems are formed by billions of “carbon” atoms that the “CO₂ disconnection machine” disconnected. This “CO₂ disconnection machine” – photosynthesis - simply disconnects the CO₂ molecule in C atoms and O atoms. So if you destroy the “CO₂ disconnection machine”, the disconnection process stops, and CO₂ levels rise. Can the answer to “why we are suffering from climate change” be more simple than this: we ourselves destroyed the “CO₂ disconnection machine”!

But this simple answer has a positive side: it also means how simple it is to solve the climate problem. We just have to re-install sufficient capacity of the “CO₂ disconnection machine” and automatically CO₂ levels go down again.

In The Treesolution (download the book for free) I demonstrate that if we plant two billion hectares “CO₂ disconnection machines” – the total area of manmade deserts on earth - we can neutralize all CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels. Not only what we pollute now. We are able to create such an “over-disconnection-capacity”, that we can even clean up historical pollution.

So we do not have to be afraid of climate change if it is caused by greenhouse gasses, amongst them CO₂. We have the “disconnection machine” available. We have the area available. We have the tools to plant this area. There is money enough to do it.

The only question that remains is: do you have the will to do it?

If your answer is “yes” then subscribe yourself now to https://www.facebook.com/thegreenmusketeer , join our army, spread the message “a Green Musketeer plants one tree per year” and support our dream of planting 2 billion hectares of manmade deserts before 2050.
A last tip: tell every politician about The Treesolution, ask them to read the book and inspire them to support our dream. Together we can win!
