Fit all greenhouse-gas producing processes with a time-dislocator.
Send the exhaust back 3 billion years, and from the resultant alternate timeline take air from 500 million years ago when the atmospheric content was 35pct. This should last until we run out of oil deposits by which time we'll have
moved on to a different power source.
When the timecops show up, we feign ignorance and register a complaint that all our petroleum deposits have been stolen and that somebody keeps dumping used cars into our continuum.

you know the butterfly that flapped it's wings...
This could really alter history. Better to send it to the future. At least 50 years so it doesn't affect me :) |

...true, we could all transmogrify into dinosaurs... and that's a bad thing ? |

Just send it forward/back 3 months or so. Earth'll be a couple million kilometers further around our sun orbit, no worries at all. Furthermore, the Sun'll be a [insert arbitrary distance here, dependent on which reference plane you choose to use today, I mean arguably the milky way is moving at .25c or whatever it is, given expansion of the universe and all] further away, no problemo. |

What is the plural for paradox[es], anyway? Is it a confusion of paradoxes? A quandry? Anyhoo, you've got a clusterfuck of paradoxes to deal with here. |

The problem with this is that when/haven't/now the gasses are all gone you are/would not/have left with nothing to breath. |

by no means: we've created a parallel-universe and replaced some of their prehistoric oxygen with carbon-dioxide... think they'll notice ? |

[Custardguts] that sortof assumes that moving through time is completely separate from other influences like gravity or affinity or momentum. |

Sending things a few days back in time, and therefore into space, was an old effect produced by "timebombs" used in the Strontium Dog comic strip from Warlord, 2000AD/Warlord and 2000AD. |

As for the main idea I'd be a bit upset by loosing so much oxygen bound up in the compons expelled by those exhausts. If we had time travel devices, that could fit on engines, then I'd instead try them to use to accellerate some steady-but-slow process to make the exhaust less harmful. |

[Aristotle] the idea is not only to displace CO2 but to *emplace* O2. |
