KidsCom Climate Change Message Board:  Speak Out!

In the news - March 5, 2007

British billionaire Richard Branson recently said that he would give $25 million dollars to anyone who could invent a way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Scientists think that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) may change the Earth's climate in a harmful way.
Can you think of a way to get rid of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Other kids have said:

i think this is a great websites for kids and i will love to praticipate in it activity for kids.
- Alyshia - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

to get rid of CO2 in the atmosphere we should first start by reducing the chemicals were putting in the air such as oil, carbon, gasoline,smog. that would help decrease the amout of Co2 then we should find a way to have plants that could survive in the atmosphere to suck up the carbon and release oxygen.
- Ebony - Age: 14 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think we should gather about 28hundred people to build a special object for greanhouse plants to live but take out the gases
- Stacey - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think builders shuold build a giant vacum cleaner that only sucks in greenhouse gases. Then they give it to the NASA space staion and blast it off to space.
- Victoria - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think u should get builders to make a big container and hook it up to a pipe and save the co2 until its full and somehow send it on a rocket with a space man and realese it in space.
- Stephanie - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

You could use a bacteria or germ to eat the bad stuff out of the air. The you could kill the bactera like they did with small pox.
- Molly - Age: 6 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Maybe scientist could event a machine that sucks C02 out of the air and change it to reaguler air!
- Frankie - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I thought of somthing new you can make a (CO2) building and then make a huge leaf blower and blow the air into the building. wala no more carbon deoxide
- Rebekka - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

We could use technology from gas maskis and air conditioners and combine them and shape the resulting machine into the shape of a tree and paint them like trees and plant them all around the world so that the filter can spread, and then they might blend in with the rest of the world so they would not be a distraction and wont be wrecked.
- Cameron - Age: 10 - From AUSTRALIA

Well to get rid of (co2) in the atmosphere you would have to get some oxygen to get rid of it,so the when it hits the co2 it will breakit dpwn in to oxgen! thank you.
- Denzil - Age: 14 - From JAMAICA

You all have great ideas! to get out the gas in the air you could use a large filter and clean the air! you could mess with one of those Sharper Image air things and make it into a air cleaner! I don't care about the money but it would really help my family!
- Jenny - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

ask Scientists to create a gas mamachine that sucks up what gases you have programed it to eliminate!
- Mollie - Age: 10 - From UNITED KINGDOM

well you can make a special machineary. it can be a size that you can take around with u. it will spray a special safty kind of air that won't harm anyone but it will harm the co2 and it will kill it and then it won't harm greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. then it will be safe for everyone and everything.
- Megan - Age: 10 - From UNITED KINGDOM

Well, I'm realy smart at math but science is not my thing. I think that to get rid of C02, you must have this some sort of baloon that sucks all that air into the ballon. (You might need a machine to do so!) Once you have the C02 in the baloon, you could go into space and pop the baloons outer space. I hope that is the right way to do so!
- Jazlyn - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Well im not very smart but if we take sample of all diffrent thing like CO2 and make diffrent mixes of diffrent subsututs then maby there we might be the easy way to finding a cure.
- Brenna - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

make a CO2 mouth witch will breathe all CO2 from the world and all grennhouse gases
- Tim - Age: 9 - From CANADA

we sould like use air ballions to test CO2s tempuare and climate
- Tim - Age: 9 - From CANADA

I think Kidscom is so cool, I stay all day!
- Elinora - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

First we need to find out what kind of gases besides CO2
are in the atmosphere. Then, we can find a weakness for some of them. I'm not sure if all of them will have a weakness, but Richard Branson didn't say we had to get all the gases out, now did he?
- Alexis - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

well we should actually stop with all of this chemical waste. We should build like air ballons to clear the air of it
- Iquon - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

They should take samples of the CO2 and start to test it with machines and see if it takes it away. Then test it with other gases to see if it works.

- Allen - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think they should make one machine that will take CO2 out of the air. That one machinie can take CO2 out of our air. The atmosphere is important so scientists should try to make one certain machine to get that out of our air.
- Shelby - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think they could invent a filtration system that takes all the co2 out of the air. after we know that it will work on that we could make a bigger one and send it up into space to get all the co2 out of the air i think that would really work.
- Samantha - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Do Scientific work and see if you can get a differnt
kind of machine for the air to evaporate.
- Kelsie - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Use a speacial vacume cleaner. Use a big one too. Name it the vacume 3,0000
- Deion - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think they could invent a filtration system that takes all the co2 out of the air in the greenhouse. after we know that it will work on that we could make a bigger one and send it up into space to get all the co2 out of the air i think that would really work.
- Kirstem - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

theres something that can separate artificial colors and
flavors from water so there has to be some way to separate
greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
- Raelee - Age: 14 - From CANADA

I think they should invent a special machine called
CO2 nose.That huge mechanical nose would breathe in all the
CO2 from the world.
- Muhammed - Age: 10 - From BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA

I think that starting from now,They should start by not using the gas and have a source to use to see the gas and then they should have a tube at every house so incase they see it they could suck it up and put it in the speacial place where they should put the gas.
- Angel - Age: 11 - From UNITED KINGDOM

you can blow up a big bubble and send it to the sun but i know this might not work but it's worth a try and also i think that this will be a very exciting experience for us kids.
- Chante - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think we can start by decreasing the amount of CO2 in Earth's atomsphere by decreasing the amount DryIce in production. It may help us by cleaning things but think about what that could do to our world. They say that Dry Ice blasting is safe...safe for who? It isn't safe for the
environment thats for sure. The CO2 blasts into the air but now there's only one queston who's going to get it down?
- Haley - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

maybe there is some super power cleaner for it in different parts of the globe and maybe someone can make it go away with mixing water.
- Lauren - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I would say to get rid of CO2 in the atmosphere is to come with a good plan like this: Sneak where the CO2 is and put icy cold things in there so it can freeze up and never try to change Earth's climate in a harmful way.
- Titiana - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Hello, i think they should get somthing that sucks up the CO2 and take it out to outerspace. Hopefully it would stay out there. If it would work, we could use it on alot more things like the gases in factory's that make animals die from the smoke.
- Emily - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Hello, there may be a plant that is making this gases in the atmodphere. I would(if i own the place) go around and check if any harmfull plants are being sold in stores. If i were a scientist i would that. Maybe some kids a putting this stuff in the air. I would see what or even maybe who is doing this.
- Emily - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

you could like suck up all of the co2 andtake it into space and let it all out there. hopefully that will work. unless it like messes up the planets and suff.
- Alexa - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that we should invent a machine. That, we would also send up to the ozone layer but it would suck up all the, the GreenHouse gasses which is Carbon Dioxide.and then it would blow out nothing but clear.Oxygen. Out of but clear oxygen.
- Alexandria - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think they shouldnt use a lot of gases and chemicals thay should just use them a good once a week or 2 times a week

- Presley - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that there should be some kind of spray to spray in certain areas to get rid of the greenhouse gases, I think it would help =) .
- Jana - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Suck it out with new devises called what ever the government names it. And the CO2 will get sucked out. After sucking this out, send it away in the next space launch, after that, all the CO2 will be gone.
- Jeramy - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Someone could invent a super-CO2-magnet or something that could take all of the CO2 out of the air and the air would be rid of the greenhouse gasses.
- Elizabeth - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Well, I think that we should make a giant vacuum to suck all of the greenhouse gasses out of the air.Then we could stop making those gasses by using solar power stuff to not have them come back.
- Alexa - Age: 11 - From CANADA

i think that the best way to get rid of greenhouse grasses is to put carbon dioxide on the grass foe 24 hours and it will be gone forver... i think.
- Dizur - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

with the technology we have today we could totally build a machine of some sort like other ppl said a vacume that would suck it away but till then we have to live with it.
- Isabelle - Age: 11 - From CANADA

I think that in the future we should build a very big machine that we will put in every 4 states that filture the air by puffing out a kind of gas that will be so clean that it will make the greenhouse gases dissapere kinda like a magic trick!
- Casey - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Well I would say that they could invent like kind of a wonderful smelling spray to kill all the CO2
- Carolyn - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that they should try too suck it out of the air. So the animals won't harm the animals in any way.Thats my sugestion for you.
- Hannah - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that there can be a different kind of gas that can get mixed or go with the gas to make the carbon dioxide go away. We can plant more trees and stop cutting down trees so their can be more oxygen and less carbon dioxide!
- Chloe - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Ithink that you should invent a pipe that you stick in your mouth and then you can breath safely until CO2is out of sight.
- Rori - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

there maybe a plant in the world that sucks up greenhouse gases and turns it in to air there could be one because there is so many more plants to discover.
- Stephanie - Age: 14 - From AUSTRALIA

i think if they could biuld some kind of special sucker that will get rid of the green house gases and protect mother nature
- Chicora - Age: 8 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Build a blocking device to put around things that give off green house gases
- Annabel - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think That we should suck the greenhouse gases on to a spaceship and then launch them in to space.
- Abby - Age: 12 - From UNITED KINGDOM

Since carbon dioxide is heavyer than air, make some huge holes and then close them.
- Billy - Age: 12 - From GREECE

I would just get a blow machine so we could blow away the air to another planet
- Sally - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that scientists should make a huge vacume cleaner that can fit in to space and the machine will suck it up.
- Oguguam - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

suck it out of the air with a machine
- Holly - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that if they had to get the gases out, then I would probably get some one to put in a sensor. Then beeps, then a vent and the vent would cary the gases some where else. So that the gases wouldn't harm mother nature, Animals, plants etc...
- Brooke - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

if we can make sum kind of storage houses for green housegases we could store them and keep our enviroment clean and safe.
- Chris - Age: 12 - From UNITED KINGDOM

Make a special filter,when the gases come out there could be a filter!
- Louise - Age: 10 - From UNITED KINGDOM

I think we should invent a machine that we send up near the ozone layer and sucks up all the carbon dioxide.This machine should then have a special acsessorie that changes the carbon dioxide into oxygen the same way that trees change the carbon dioxide into oxygen.
- Krustation - Age: 13 - From IRELAND

Every hundred years or so, a Carbon Dioxide molucule dies, so if we stop using anything at all that produces Carbon Dioxide, then in about a hundred years all the molucules will be dead.
- Clo - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i would think up a chemical reaction that could happen between CO2 and another elemnet that would reduce the CO2 element or replace it, so to speak.
- Erin - Age: 12 - From JAPAN

I think that we sould plant some more trees because they
breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
- Rianna - Age: 9 - From UNITED KINGDOM

I think you could make a air tight gas vaccum and suck in all of the gasses from the air and make the air clean again!
- Lindsay - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

i think that u could make a pipe or something of that nature and make it detect any ceertain chemicals like carbon dioxide. thats what i think might help.
- Gwendolyn - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

filter the gases
- Brianna - Age: 8 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

yes you can create a suction so all the poulution goes into it then clean out the poulted air and reuse that air.
- Taylor - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

In my opinion co2 is a compound which consists of 2 pure elements these are carbon and oxide 2 so if we over rule this formular we can create a substance which can eliminate this problem all togeather. That is my conclusion anyway.. P.s Also we can plant more plants so they can eat an produce more oxeygen and eat the co2
- Amy - Age: 12 - From UNITED KINGDOM

To remove the greenhouse gases from the atmosphere we should firstly reduse the polluting machines, vehicles, etc.
There is a way to distroy carbondioxide gas and form carbon particle. I know this may cause effect to the land,But I am sure that it will reduse the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
- Saba - Age: 13 - From INDIA

cold water brings down the gases and makes them disappear without harming Earth
- Alli - Age: 9 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think that if we put air purifiers in then the bad gases would all be taken out of the air and there would be no bad gas to get out
- Paige - Age: 11 - From UNITED KINGDOM

I have a fix for carbon dioxide. Plants. If we put plants everywhere then the will breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
- Sara - Age: 9 - From ISRAEL

I just want to say that scientist should think about the periodic table because if you put two elements together they make a substance so there might be two elements that make a substance stronger than the bad gases. If they find this substance there might be a possibility that they could eclipse the bad gases with the new and stronger substance.
- Renato - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

if you burn off the gases to a fume state and then run the fumes of non flameable stuff in to the ground like 200 feet this will elimate toxics from raising into the air now all gas is flameable but not after fume state from the heat let the earth clean the fume as it rises to the surface. make sure it surfaces in the middle of a man made pond or lake and just clean surface oil to make natural oil which gives no emission.
- Xitancelia - Age: 12 - From CANADA

I think by making everything solar powered at a low price(so low income families could afford it), greenhouse gases would be eliminated.
- Dennis - Age: 14 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

to get rid of the greenhouses gases in the atmosphere there must be enough trees to absorb this harmful gases.another way to get rid of it is to carry out reforestation programs.
- Keith - Age: 11 - From PHILIPPINES

put a lot of air purifiers aruond or on giant one
- Kirk - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

maybe they could put humidifiers in the air which will allow good air to come out and the bad air to leave which filterized the bad air and turns it good!
- Nikki - Age: 11 - From CANADA

Make electronic cars so fumes dont effect the atmospher and destoy our lands.
- Kierrissa - Age: 11 - From AUSTRALIA

i think we need to find an "anti-poision" or something that will reverse the effect of the greenhouse effect.

- Halo - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

becaues trees absoreb CO2 we could plant trees on space ships and drive it around the atmosphere
- Josh - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think you should invent a huge bubble and then trap all the gases in the bubble.
- Asheley - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think you could invent some kind of spray. it should be called Greenhouse Kindness, because it's kind to clean up the mess the gas made!
- Kristi - Age: 10 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Get cars that run on solar power and intruduce more phydoplankton to the enviroment because they comsume co2 and convert it to oxagen and lowers the greenhouse effect
- Bee - Age: 13 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

We should walk instead of useing car. If we did that it would make it so there is less green house gases.
- Milly - Age: 11 - From AUSTRALIA

i think you could blow up a huge bubble and then go to the moon and let it float!
- MLE - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

we can put a bubble and it will keep it warm and thhere will be mist so that would be good.
- Maggie - Age: 12 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

I think we could put a big bubble that aborsbs the CO2 and then replace it over 6 months or so.
- Kasi - Age: 11 - From UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

get rid of the gas by sucking it up with a tube in a glass tube then take it to a garbage warehouse and burn the tube
- Josh - Age: 11 - From UNITED KINGDOM
