Could we not employ the same cyanobacteria to avert our current Great Deoxygenation Event? It did consume CO2 after all?

- dimitar 3y agoThe Great Oxygenation event wasn't due to the consumption of CO2 but rather the reaction of methane with the newly introduced oxygen, which reduced the greenhouse effect (aka raditative forcing). Since we already have lots of oxygen in the atmosphere they cannot help us the same way.
