I’m sure we’ve got the technology somewhere. We just need like a giant fucking tree to suck the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and to desalinate the oceans. Something that’s the size of an island all by itself.
I don’t care if it’s 100 billion trees woven together with some science fuckery, but we need an Yggsrasil if we want to fix the planet.
Think about it. A giant tree out in the middle of the ocean that sucks up all of our carbon dioxide and turns it into more trees and that sucks the salts and minerals and plastics out of the ocean and incorporates those into itself until it grows as tall as 100 billion trees woven together with dark science can possibly grow.
Sure, it’ll cost I don’t know several billion dollars to make this happen a trillion I don’t fucking know, but if we had that the world would get better.
Oh, we could probably create giant trees with selective breeding and gene editing. But those trees would still need hundreds of years to grow (and that’s a good thing, since it would store CO2 while growing) and if there are problems with the gene editing we would only notice after decades.
