Cyanobacteria would still use oxygen when there is no light, and other nutrients. By allowing them to burst in numbers they would easily suck it all out of the sea.

They suck out oxygen too. That's how you get ocean deadzones.

Corn and wheat. Most of nitrogen is ferilizers and cattle poop. Most of plants grown and farmland used is for cattle. I don't think farmers would care if they had nitrogen sucking gmo plants for their cattle since they already feed the

Do people really eat that much fish? I thought fish is mostly raised as fishmeal for cows. Making an even worse bioaccumulation chain.

I believe `await` is sequential in the scope. `Promise.all` would be truly parallel. edit: just checked and your version is indeed parallel. Interesting.

I love how machine learning went to statistical learning and then back to machine learning. Playing is exactly the word to describe the discovery process.

The biggest chuck of CO2 footprint is heating and cooling. I'm pretty sure people don't want to stop using their AC. Second biggest is cars and animal agriculture. So, three most convenient things in the modern world, cooling, tra

Arctic ice has 1400Gt of carbon locked up as methane. [1] This is equivalent to 1400/10 = 140 years of human 2016 activity. [2]. Methane also has a stronger effect than CO2. If ice starts to melt, we are doomed. [1]: https://

Most CO2 is indeed natural. We did increase the circulating amount by a very small margin. Large enough so that it accumulated over the years. This of course led to a feedback loop. Arctic ice has 1400Gt of carbon locked up as methane. [1]
