Very interesting, however how do I achieve the high temperatures and high pressures to produce diamonds from CO2? Probably by producing new CO2. And probably, but I'm not sure about this, the carbon included in a diamond is at the end less than the carbon released to produce it.
Great post Fawzi. Thanks for challenging me again and again. I find myself being underwhelmed with the anti-CO2 movement. Maybe if we were pure in all our ways I could get interested in CO2 as somehow harmful. But since we spew a tremendous amount of life threatening chemicals into our water and air and soil, and these cause very real health concerns for all living things (people alive now), I fail to see why we obsess about CO2. Wish we could make diamonds out of toxic soup.

A very interesting read.
