System and Method for Removing Carbon Dioxide from an Atmosphere and Global Thermostat Using the Same
First Claim
1. A system for removing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere to reduce global warming which can increase availability of renewable energy or non-fuel products such as fertilizers and construction materials, comprising:
- an air extraction system that collects carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a medium and removes carbon dioxide from the medium;
a collection system that isolates the removed carbon dioxide to a location for at least one of sequestration, storage and generation of a renewable carbon fuel or non-fuel products such as fertilizers and construction materials; and
one or more energy sources that supply process heat to the air extraction system to remove the carbon dioxide from the medium and which can regenerate it for continued use.

Abstract
A system for removing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere to reduce global warming including an air extraction system that collects carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a medium and removes carbon dioxide from the medium; a sequestration system that isolates the removed carbon dioxide to a location for at least one of storage and which can increase availability of renewable energy or non-fuel products such as fertilizers and construction materials; and one or more energy sources that supply process heat to the air extraction system to remove the carbon dioxide from the medium and which can regenerate it for continued use.

11. A method for removing carbon dioxide from an atmosphere to reduce global warming and increase availability of renewable energy, comprising:
-
collecting air from the atmosphere; removing carbon dioxide from the collected air; isolating the removed carbon dioxide for at least one of sequestration, storage and generation of a renewable carbon fuel or non-fuel products such as fertilizers and construction materials, wherein at least one of the collecting, removing and isolating steps is performed using an energy source that comprises process heat. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

16. A system for producing a negative carbon dioxide effect on a planet'"'"'s atmosphere, comprising:
a system that provides a medium for extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses process heat for extracting carbon dioxide from the medium and to regenerate it so it can be reused. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

33. A global thermostat for controlling average temperature of a planet'"'"'s atmosphere, comprising a plurality of systems, each of which is capable of producing a negative carbon dioxide effect on a planet'"'"'s atmosphere by extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses process heat for extracting carbon dioxide from the medium, so that the plurality of systems together can effectively extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a rate that is faster than the rate at which the carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere.
