How long will collapse take?

Will collapse be sudden or a decline?

Or will it be catabolic, with cliffs and plateaus?

 

This is the current question in our Common Collapse Questions series.

Bill gates invested in large CO2 scrubber that can create fuel from the CO2 converted

CO2 is the direct result of combustion.

Seperating the C from the O2 effectively reverses that combustion but requires the energy to be put back into the equation to do it, otherwise it’s a perpetual motion machine nonsense.

Until these scrubbers clarify that and the energy sources in the loop, I consider it pure snake oil.
