"SNIP.......

It sounds like spinning straw into gold: suck carbon dioxide from the air where it's contributing to climate change and turn it into fuel for cars, trucks and jets.

A British Columbia company says in newly published research that it's doing just that — and for less than one-third the cost of other companies working on the same technology.

"This isn't a PowerPoint presentation," said Steve Oldham of Carbon Engineering. "It's real."

As policy-makers work on ways to try to keep global warming within the two-degree limit of the Paris agreement, fears have been raised that carbon dioxide emissions won't be cut fast enough. Some say carbon will have to be actively removed from the atmosphere.

I invented a carburetor that gets 77 miles per gallon. That was back in '58. One day a guy drives up to my garage in a black car. Says his name is Michael Anthony and he worked for a guy named Tipton. Said, if I will give him the plans and prototype -- "Well, here's $1m in $100 dollar bills in two large cardboard boxes."

I though he was going to manufacture the carb but I never heard anything about him or it from that time. Later, I began to wonder if he name was really Michael Anthony.

I googled Michael Anthony and John Beresford Tipton and he did exist.
