- the8472 7y agoAttempts to improve photosynthetic efficiency is not exactly novel, for example there is the IRRI C4 rice project[0] or various research on RuBisCO efficiency[1][2]. Speeding up the development process and trying to bring all the different improvements under one umbrella might be.

- eb0la 7y agoNot exactly novel: we need to develop carbon capture technologies in order to survive, not just cut/curb CO2 and Methane emmisions. >410 CO2 PPM in the air means if we can magicaly cut emmisions to zero right now, there are tons of CO2 still warming the earth and they won't disappear by themselves.
