Comment I remember the switch (Score 5, Insightful) 23

I remember the switch from Community driven development to RHEL, they really did abandoned their core community. I switch to Debian and BSD and have never looked back. This event lead to Ubuntu growing up and taking over the desktop mantle for a bit, which has more of the open source ethos than Red Hat.

They eventually brought back the community driven development but by then almost half the developers have left. They really should have just made a second product for the business community, and not dropped the original intent. No one would have cared if they did that. Red Hat really squandered what good will they had in the community.

It's quite simple to solve global warming, the problem is excess CO2 in the air. Why not change the CO2 into a Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms? Oxygen has the side effect of acting as a global coolant as it doesn't trap heat the same way CO2 does. The Carbon atoms would just fall back down as a dust and be incorporated into nature, and if we ever want to increase the heat of the planet all we would have to do is go back to spewing CO2, and we are very adept at doing that.

There are various ways of doing this but the safest would probably be photonic absorption of CO2 at energy levels high enough that would split the molecule back into its base components, that would allow you target only CO2 and leave the reset of Earth’s Atmosphere unaffected. The same tech could also later be repurposed to remove various pollutants from the atmosphere once the CO2 reaches desired levels.
