THE VACUUM CLEANER

Tally Serror, 5/01/2025, LOS ANGELES.

A technology capable of eliminating greenhouse gases. Climate change is an issue that has now captured the attention of the global community. Scientists and engineers have developed a solution to the problem, an invention capable of sucking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. The device, which was built after years of research, has the capacity to reduce the level of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere, as well as other gases harmful to the Earth.

The operation of this device relies on a combination of advanced technologies, including specific filters capable of distinguishing greenhouse gases from other gases present in the atmosphere. Once collected, these gases are then converted into a compacted form that can be reused or stored.

This vacuum cleaner can be installed in strategic locations such as large cities or highly polluting industrial sites, as it is capable of processing very large volumes of air in a short space of time.

Good or bad solution ?

The principle this vacuum cleaner is based on specific filters capable of separating greenhouse gases from other components of the air. While this innovation may sound attractive on paper, its practical limitations and potential consequences deserve further examination.

First, the costs associated with this technology are significant. The manufacture, installation and maintenance of these devices require massive investments, without guarantee of results to meet expectations. In addition, the energy required to run these vacuum cleaners could itself generate carbon emissions, thereby compromising their overall environmental balance.

Second, the use of such technologies may distract attention from fundamental solutions, such as reducing emissions at source. Relying on technological devices to "clean" the atmosphere, some actors may feel less anxious to adopt energy-saving measures or transition to renewable energies.

Any storage incident could have serious consequences for the environment and public health.

Finally, this technology risks fueling geographical inequalities. Highly polluted industrial or urban areas, often in developing countries, could become the main sites for these vacuum cleaners, without direct benefits to local populations.

The real challenge is a systemic change in production and consumption patterns, rather than the proliferation of costly and uncertain technological solutions.
