  1. Being in a car, popping balloons filled with CO2 would be a really bad idea.

  2. You missed a philosophical question - is global warming a bad thing? More importantly, you're missing some key information. 500 million years ago, atm CO2 was around 5,000 ppm. The planet had a temperature of about 25C, and life on Earth loved it! Since then CO2 has fallen by more than 90%. It's not locked up in coal and oil, it's mostly locked up in limestone. You realize that means the Earth is dying. When CO2 falls low enough, plants stop growing and then everything dies. So the planet produced one species able and willing to stop that death-process by digging up and burning some coal and oil. It's a temporary fix, but it'll give life on Earth perhaps a few more million years.

  3. It takes energy to dig coal. A plant can capture CO2 using sunlight - which is free. If they made the beads out of peas, they could capture CO2 for free and feed people with it.
