      We have that. They’re called “plants.” If we just stop cutting down all the trees and poisoning the seas, plants will capture the carbon in the air and return it to the ground when they die. Or it will become part of the natural food chain.

      So don’t worry, either we will stop destroying all of the ecosystems, or the plants can fix the planet after we’re all gone.

        That doesn’t work because we added a shit load of Carbon we need to take out, we can also not just let the entire world become Forrest.

          we can also not just let the entire world become Forrest.

          We could make charcoal from the trees and bury the same amount we dug up, but as long as we burn coal for power it’s kind of pointless.
