A net-zero world needs zero-carbon concrete. Here's how to do it

First, i do not think for a second that we should waste resources trying to do this..It is ultimately absurd. Yet observe that they are promoting this with no actual tech in sight and getting an unending research gig out of it. Really? Do you understand that the drywall in your home continually absorbs carbon dioxide? Is that not helpful and we do not even know that. Cement in its manufacture produces a lot of CO2. However when it reforms to produce concrete it absorbs most of that CO2 back. The actual surplus is used to produce manufacturing heat. That manufacturing heat c... read more

There is no variant... not novel... no pandemic

Let us just say it. The pandemic does not exist at all and is been faked using an inappropriate pcr testing protocol. The symptoms and real kills are induced by several agencies in the vaccines themselves starting with the late 2019 flu vaccine. This is an act of WAR by the CCP. The Global military knows this. It is not a secret. worse, the vaccines have been adulterated to damage the victims immune system and will plausibly lead to a direct die off of humanity.
