It is rather amazing to see the ingenuity of scientists when it comes to extracting CO2 from the atmosphere. In an article in "nature communications" a team of scientists are writing about creating coal from CO2 at room temperature. Super cool (pun intended)!  OK, so I prefer  vodka  to coal, but the science is fascinating. You can read all the technical details at:  https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08824-8 For correctness here the citation:  Esrafilzadeh, D., Zavabeti, A., Jalili, R.  et al.  Room temperature CO 2  reduction to solid carbon species on liquid metals featuring atomically thin ceria interfaces.  Nat Commun   10,  865 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08824-8 The original artical is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

More and more stories are coming out about products removing CO2 from the atmosphere. This one is really cool. The carbon on the atmosphere is used top produce alcohol and with that vodka. Carbon negative vodka - brilliant. You can only buy it from their Bushwick factory to keep it carbon friendly. Understandable, but a bit of a shame.
