Is it “carbon capture” or is it a capture of property rights, cash, constitution? This is a question investigated and answered by the incredible new documentary Unearthing, The Co2 Pipeline. Produced by the John Birch Society and released on Earth Day (April 22), warning that there is an artificial danger beneath the Earth.
What is carbon capture (CC)? Grok Ai states very briefly, “it is the process of trapping carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emissions from power plants, industrial facilities, or sources directly from air, a process that prevents them from entering the atmosphere. The captured Co is then stored underground and used in industrial processes or converted into products.” The pretext for that is to fight “global warming”, “climate change”, “global climate disruption”, or whatever this essay is published. Of course, CO2, which is regularly referred to as “carbon,” is like calling water “hydrogen,” but it is related to this repentant fate scenario. Don't worry about botanists pumping gas into the greenhouse to promote plant growth. (Crop yields rise significantly with CO2 levels.) Don't worry about 2013 predicting that life on Earth would end due to too little CO2 (although it's a billion years). Don't worry about Bjørn Lomborg of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre predicts that lowering the global temperature by a third by the end of this century would cost $100 trillion (may be lower than the national debt of 2100 years). Don't worry if even the liberal New York Times reported on the Lancet investigation in 2016, “cold weather is responsible for 17 times more deaths than hot weather.” And don't worry about some scientists believing another ice age is approaching. There is carbon and cash to capture.
The Carbon Capture Pipeline (CCP) is also a large-scale initiative. CCP is your tax-funded $8.9 billion project that snakes 96,000 miles across the US. More importantly, it sets a precedent for property rights that changing the principle of “human houses his castle” above one's head could have an impact from the coast to the coast and here forever.
Currently, Grok's CC definition may sound harmless enough, but Enearthing (une) explains that the pipeline scheme is nothing. This includes capturing CO2 from industrial sources, compressing it, and sending “semi-liquid” into a underground “fusion” area in North Dakota. The term “compression” can attract your attention. Certainly I got mine and reminded me of the cans of coke I had left in the freezer for a long time (I wanted to cool it off right away. I was a coke addict at the time). Very gentle removal – I treated it like nitroglycerin – bad luck can explode like a hand-ren bullet. It created a tear-caused mess that evoked tears, not a cultured warrior that woses testosterone that you know and love. And certainly, this might bring laughs at my expense. Unfortunately, if the CO2 pipeline can't contain the pressure, the outcome is even slightly comedic. This brings us to the story.
CO2 is a naturally occurring, life-giving gas, but it can do more when compressed than simply creating Schmutz. Consider the disaster at Lake Nyos.
Lake Nhos in Cameroon, Africa is a deep volcanic crater lake that suddenly released a huge cloud of CO2 on August 21, 1986. The gas is heavier than oxygen, so the latter was displaced. As a result, 1,700 animals and countless animals died of suffocation in a short period of time. It is noted here that CO2 has been present in the cold depths of the lake, loose, and compacted state for a long time. So does such a pipeline sound like it's waiting for a disaster to happen?
I already have it.
UNE tells the fateful day when the CO2 pipeline burst in the town of Satartia, Mississippi, in February 2020. Like in Cameroon, people saw the ominous clouds and couldn't breathe. Some people collapsed at home after experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, disorientation, convulsions and unconsciousness. If you were driving at the time, it didn't help you because the car stalled (it takes oxygen to burn). Also note that it took 4 hours and 3 hours for the pipeline to be empty.
In the end, at least 45 people were hospitalized and hundreds had to be evacuated. No, it wasn't a Lake Nhos level disaster, but “we've been lucky,” said Jacques Willingham, director of the Yazoo County Emergency Management,” reported the Free Soil Foundation in 2024. (inhuman). Therefore, its near-death possibility is well known.
Ah, and what caused the pipeline to burst? It was a “normal seasonal flood.” Kicker:
The pipe burst again a few months later while being repaired. It requires yet another evacuation. This isn't surprising either, as UNE informs that there are no federal regulations in its CO2 pipeline. Additionally, CCP will become grandfathers and will not be subject to new safety regulations.
This involves risks in all human efforts, and energy production-related issues are no exception. For example, does the infamous 3-mile island nuclear power station meltdown in 1979 mean that atomic energy should be distributed? Of course, the nucleus has its profound advantages. But what about the risks of carbon capture and storage (CCS')? Does a cost-benefit analysis justify that?
Here, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned at his first Earth Day celebration in 1969 that “the threat of a new ice age must stand alongside nuclear war as a source of wholesale death and misery for humanity.” Now, shortly after the 46th Earth Day, UNE points out that it is known that the prognosis of a globally enthusiastic destiny is hoping for, and that it relies on administration and trickery instead. For example, they talk about certain legislative Trojan horses used to fund CCS. The documentary shows how efforts are not effective. Why it quotes Algore, the warm hellish lazer himself, throwing shade at it. In fact, both the left and right agree that CCS does not lower temperatures, so where is the advantage?
And why is it complete steam ahead?
Now, follow the money. UNE also reveals that people collecting taxes through CCS (billions of songs) also provide numbers and naming names. And how do these green greenback chasers promote their business?
Well, hit films have been made, such as Shane (1953) and Pale Rider (1985). For the interest of powerful, greedy and big-names, use strong arm tactics to drive little guys out of the land. UNE reveals how it embraced this spirit by Summit Carbon Solutions, the company that builds CCP. Essentially, property owners, often ranchers and farmers, make offers that “they cannot refuse.”
UNE also reveals how state and certain county governments and judges are complicit in this and how Nadir-low will proceed to achieve that objective. It feeds vulnerable people, widows, weak people, and even people who suffer from dementia. They use bullying tactics and threats, threaten the county with legal action, and even sue the deceased.
And when the summit gets what it wants, easements or leases, it's the best of both worlds – for the company. This means that while the landowners still pay property taxes, the company currently has some control over the property. You may need a permit to build it in the pipeline area. You may not be allowed to target filming in your own land. And if, for example, a tractor sinks a few feet on a wet earth, disrupting the pipeline, it could be liable for damage or death. In a nutshell, it's like the seed of fascism. The land is still privately owned, but the companies that bet the government have held some of them.
Of course, UNE offers even more details. The work is also full of interviews with ranchers, farmers and government officials, thus putting human faces on oppression and the opposite. The documentary also explains, for example, how to do the summit
It discharges deep aquifers needed for farming, and how its actions render its water helpless. Destroy the underground drainage system. Removes good food-producing land from agricultural use. And it uses liquefied CO2 for fracking, despite its promise not.
You will also learn how they dealt with the unpopularity of the Greentopian Climate Policy from UNE. Not constrained by the truthful orders in advertising, the government encouraged CC technology through the Inflation Reduction Act, which “provided cash” to businesses.
But CCS, worse yet, UNE argues. This means that even the great goal of achieving “net zero” by 2050 is just part of a much larger agenda. Therefore, the documentary also answers the following questions:
Are there decades of CCS “projects” planned? What is Agenda 2030, how do CCS intersect, what are the goals of 17, and what policy initiatives are in the US? What are “30 x 30” and “50 x 50”? And how do you get into the equation? What “15 Minute City” does Greentopians want us to cam all our sardines? Is this really about the management and localization of government technocratics, the elimination of private property rights, the erosion of individual freedom, the centralization of food supplies, and the principle of “whatever you are, happiness”? Does the agenda include achieving “what, when, and how to buy” control?
Of course, that final bullet point sounds very biblical. In other words, the Apocalypse warned two thousand years ago that there would be a time when no one could “buy or sell”. However, this sounds ominous, but it won't run to Prozac yet as UNE offers one more thing.
The work explains how South Dakotan hit the CCS through a referendum, explaining that the summit had to delay the launch date of the CCP due to grassroots opposition. UNE also outlines how you can be involved, fight a good fight and become another David who helps kill Goliath. It's really very inspirational.
Also, UNE is very cleverly made, polished, seductive, sticky, and no perceptible movie burger helper. There are no unnecessary words. One segment is very beautifully segmented into the next, so it can be difficult to even conceptualize them as segments. The work moves quickly, but not in a hurry. Informationally, it's a sing, but it's not overwhelming. The documentary is 52 minutes long.
UNE is vigilant to you and arms you with it reminding us of a simple truth: you may not care about politics, but politics certainly cares about you. If we weren't wary, then immediately, our breathing may not only be the imposingness of America's purple mountains.
