Default SERIOUS question about CO2 ( Sincere Question. Please Help if you can)

If someone had a LOT of money and we asked them to build a factory to
do nothing but pump out extremely gigantic amounts of CO2, would this
"speed up" or have any measurable effect on Global Warming ??

Note:I'm speaking of a factory that could produce a daily amount of
CO2 in nearly unimaginable amounts 24 hours a day non-stop.

I'd be delighted with a sincere and honest answer to this scenario.

And yes I am being sincere and serious with this question.
I am NOT trying to trip anyone up and have not Biased my question as I
am willing to accept any thoughtful answer.

It might actually help some of us understand this topic more, might
make one side or the other be more solid in their belief.


The factory would have to use unimaginable amounts of energy to make the
CO2. By making all the CO2, you would suck so much heat out of the
atmosphere, the planet would freeze solid all the way down to the core.
Were this to happen, the expanding cold front from Earth would likely
freeze the solar system, stopping planetary motion, causing Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus all to plummet into the sun, causing it
to go supernova, which would upset the Milky Way, who would then expel the
Solar System into the intergalatic void for causing trouble, and when the
Earth crossed the galactic boundary we would all be changed into evil
supermen intent on destroying the Enterprise except first we would nail the
hot chick with weird eyes before dying because a big rock fell on us.

If you're going to come up with stupid ideas, at least learn a little
thermodynamics first to make them practical.
