Hi everybody,
Anyone here interested in direct air capture for carbon removal? https://www.fastcompany.com/40510680/can-we-suck-enough-co2-from-the-air-to-save-the-climate

The current generation of tech is chemical engineering. I'm curious what solutions biology might offer. Figured some people on this list might be thinking about it already.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Tito



Climate change is a policy problem, an anti-stance in government, more than a technology problem. 
The most important act which biologists and scientists could do for climate change is to go directly into politics.  Run for an office and get elected and introduce science into evidence-based policy and funding decisions.

The meat and dairy industry is probably more a factor than burning fossil fuels.  If everyone went vegan the climate balance could be restored.  That is the biology solution which most refuse to accept.
