I saw the movie last night and I agree with you on most of your points.

Of the plot holes, I expect T movies to have plot holes, however it was very easy for me to put them aside and enjoy this movie.

I loved the action scenes, esp the first sequence, just awesome.

I thought Mackenzie Davis was fantastic to look at and to watch, she was amazing.

I thought Sarah Connor character was just ok, but Linda Hamilton seems to be not that good of an actor.

Maybe I had low expectations but I really enjoyed the movie. To intellectually tear it apart seems like a weird thing to do. Go watch it to have fun.

For a while AltaVista was for sure the most relevant search engine. Like all the others, they evolved by chasing the easiest dollar. Front page ads, paid for results, etc. Small minded stuff.

Google on the other hand took the long view, they kept the front page clean, kept the search results pure, and kept the advertising in check.

Chop down two trees, burn one to heat the other in low oxigen, this is a carbon neutral activity. Now take that biochar and bury it deep in the earth, or use it to condition the soil.

Plant two trees and let them soak up carbon.

I don't see any thermodynamic paradox there.

You could just bury trees, but I think the idea is the charcoal doesn't degrade back to carbon dioxide as quickly.

I think you would fire the furnace with a carbon neutral source, like wood. I think you would fire it with the very vegetation that you are carbonizing. I think they just restrict the amount of air they let in to the chamber.

Also I believe the proposed solution is to apply the char to soil to condition it.

I did a quick google of "pyrolysis carbon sequestration" and then "biochar"

I would say that most of the carbon sequestration ideas I have heard of sound much more crazy than pyrolysis of vegetation.

Personally, I would never support carbon sequestration anyway. I would say I am against purposeful human intervention of climate. If we have messed things up so far by accident or out of ignorance, imagine how bad things will be when we mess with climate for politics.
