[DIYbio] Re: Microbially Accelerated Carbon Sequestration

Nitrogen fixation.

Nitrogen alone is no greenhouse gas. But if the bacteria bind nitrous
oxides (which are 19-times more effecting in heating the Earth than
crabon dioxide!) this would help against global warming.

Anyway, in the more distant future we can't fix climate change only by
removing carbon from the air. Plants need a specific level of carbon
dioxide.
Better remove more effective greenhouse gasses, like methane, water
vapour, nitrous oxides, fluorcarbons (e.g. octafluorpropane), ....
