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.
square-cube law means height, diameter, and weight are all going to be issues.
Isn’t algae more effective per volume?
Aren’t you forgetting to factor the square of the magnitude of the raw fucking radness though
Radness factor is left out of efficiency calculations way too often
Yes. Algae would be much better. Just don’t mess up the oceans, and the algae will do their job.
Algae is the easiest and most likely to work.
We did experiments with iron seeding, the technology isn’t too far, it’s basically how the planet used to regulate before us.
