Why we are blindly fixated at CO2 only? The artificial cure may be worse than disease. Plants sequester other substances and retain water, regulate temperatures

Why we are blindly fixated at CO2 only?
The artificial cure may be worse than disease. Plants sequester other substances and retain water, regulate temperatures and is home to biodiversity. With artificial solution we will endup with dead deserts of hard to recycle hardware. Nature did it better for millions of years.
- kisamoto 6y agoBio-solutions will definitely make up the future of carbon removal but while nature was able to keep itself in equilibrium for millions of years a few centuries of human behaviour has thrown it out of balance. Humans will need to undo their own damage _and_ restore nature.
- exabrial 6y agoUntil carbon sequestration can make bricks or another useful material as a carbon sink, it'll sit as a niche own used for virtue signaling by politicians rather than actual change that moves the meter.
- imhoguy 6y agoNot even bricks as by time they will become garbage and yet another recycling issue. We would need to dump it back deep underground into mineshafts and oil wells.
