Johnnie , that's really good news. I know that trees are not the only organisms that consume CO2. For instance, some of the micro algae, produced most of the oxygen of the planet as far as I know. The question now for me is, will we be able to make use of all of these allies to change to route ? our destiny is the prize... but it's hard to gain funds for such projects... and it looks like most of people thinks we are safe and there's no climate change...
If only there was some sort of magical plant that we could use that takes more c02 out of the air than trees, doesn't require pesticides, and repairs the soil for future food crops. If there was such a magical plant, I would like to think it could also be used for making fuel, stronger plastic than oil, stronger rope than oil, stronger fibers than cotton, replace concrete for house construction, and make paper. And, it should be able to be harvested 4 times a year allowing the trees that are no longer needed to continue to take in c02 as well. That's just to name some of the things this magical plant might be able to do.
Oh wait! There is a magical plant that does all of those things already!
They say technology will unemploy a lot of people... I see a lot of work required for human evolution. Air cleansing is one of those futuristic jobs... as I wish it would come true.. space travel is another of mass employable areas...
ahime' miguel... it's all about us... I don't know what will happen but... did technology caused people to lose deserved rewards until now? the answer is yes on my side, both in Romania and USA I see 80% of the jobs lost in factories... why this happened? it's not the technology itself but the people... it looks like most of the administrations and CEOs didn't cared too much about people reward... they just proceeded with automation without any concern for their human allies... so, if similar scenarios happened before I cannot see how it will be different in future. We have little chances, most of leaders are for profit not for people wellness...
CO2 as a causative agent for CATASTROPHIC man-made climate change is purely nonsense. Never before in human history have people thrived more and been more adaptive to the environment. This is why climate related deaths have fallen 50X over the last 80 years. The source of the bunk science is from PROFITEERS like Al Gore and the many motivated "scientists" who earn a living off the grants provided to them by outlandish fear tactics. (btw I have an energy engineering company with patents on 4 continents) #taxscams #fakescience #confirmationbias

I assisted with the research on Project Drawdown (and the book Drawdown) which cover 100 solutions that will enable us to reverse global warming. Luckily, as another commenter pointed out, there are lots of ways to pull CO2 from the air that don't involve trees. https://steemit.com/science/@johnniec/drawdown-the-most-comprehensive-plan-ever-proposed-to-reverse-global-warming

We covered hemp in the book Drawdown, which contains information on how we can begin to drawdown atmospheric CO2 levels. https://steemit.com/science/@johnniec/drawdown-the-most-comprehensive-plan-ever-proposed-to-reverse-global-warming
