I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!
Don't they sell the CO2 to fracking companies?

Happy to see that nobody in the comment section seems to fall for this. I'm sure that's representative for the global human race

I'm a little fuzzy on the part where it "turns into rock."
Carbon is an amazingly flexible element that gets bound up with lots of other elements. Oxygen is also incredibly reactive and makes up almost half the mass of the Earth's crust. Add in all the heat down there for activation energy, and it starts to make sense. I'm no expert though.
You know, in a few hundred thousand years.

It can't even look cool. God this timeline sucks.
Now reunite Mythbusters and stack like 30 seconds of freeway traffic worth of cars facing it. Go.

Nice, now the techbros can finally achieve their lifelong dream of paving all the forests and selling tickets for the tree museums.
After that they can plant trees on Mars.
everyone seems to be jumping on how shit of an idea this is and that we just need more trees, but the point of this is that they can directly sequester the carbon back into the ground. Yes you can plant a lot of trees but when those trees die and rot away the carbon just ends up straight back in the atmosphere, you need to actually bury it to stop it re-entering the atmosphere again.

They put all the trees in a tree museum.
I would probably name it T.R.E.E. Terrestrial Regeneration and Ecosystem Engine.
If they can make like the size of 100-floor building, maybe there will be some differences rather than using trees that only occupied horizontal plane.
