My view on the wider issue is that returning carbon to the atmosphere remains an environmentally friendly thing to do at present. Nudging atmospheric CO2 back up to levels that maximised plant activity is a good thing IMO. I believe plant life dies out below 130 ppm and peaks somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 ppm. The Earth has pulled so much carbon from its atmosphere that it has nudged atmospheric CO2 down towards the lower limit for life in recent geologic history. We are safe from that now but I like the idea of a buffer.

The price of oil in the next year or two will be a huge leveller for politicians around the world. As prices rise it will put huge pressure on govenments to dilute their green policies. Or alternatively, they will double down on "saving the planet". Either way I predict governments will fall over this issue, because we are already in a supply deficit, and demand will rise as the world economies improve.
