Maybe not so dystopic

CONVERTING CO2 INTO FUEL is a hot area of research, according to Wired magazine, who have discovered a new outfit called Carbon Sciences
The company says its "C02-to-Fuel" technology uses CO2 to create ethane, propane and methane, three run-of-the mill hydrocarbons used to make high-grade gasoline and other fuels. The key to the process is biocatalysis, a process where natural catalysts are used to perform chemical reactions. Biocatalysis is a more energy efficient and cost-effective way to break down CO2, making the possibility of a large-scale ramp up economically feasible.
Carbon Sciences has this to say:
Innovating at the intersection of chemical engineering and bio-engineering disciplines, we are developing a highly scalable biocatalytic process to meet the fuel needs of the world. With over 28 billion tons of CO2 emitted each year, there is an abundant supply of raw material available to produce renewable and sustainable fuels for global consumption.

Reduce your global infidelity footprint now!

Do you expect to increase your extra-curricular shagging sixfold within the next few years?
Try new and easy CheatNeutral :
What is Cheat Offsetting?

When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere.
Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience.

Can I offset all my cheating?

First you should look at ways of reducing your cheating. Once you've done this you can use Cheatneutral to offset the remaining, unavoidable cheating.

Of course total global cheating may actually increase under this method by allowing cheaters who can afford to buy their way out the opportunity not to control their own increasing, uh, emissions.

Very funny site. Be sure to check out the client testimonials and the film.
