> Compared to what?

Compared to not burning it.

> Over what period?

I don't know what you mean by period. If you mean period of effect, then indefinitely, since the CO2 sticks around, I guess?

If you mean period of burning, then at least as long as there's direct fossil fuel plants for it to compete with.

> Consider this at the extremes. Instead of investing in any photovoltaic

Who suggested a reduction in investment in anything?

I could also say that if we burned plastic for energy instead of... running hospitals, that would also be bad. Does your comparison make more sense than mine?

I don't think your scenario is even possible, numbers-wise.
