Past failures force humanity to take drastic measures in the fight against global warming. Researchers warn that reducing CO2 emissions is not enough. They advocate for new technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. One approach in this area: Genetically modified “super trees” that serve as CO2 storage. But the idea raises questions…
Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be removed from the atmosphere in various ways, for example with energy-guzzling “CO2 pistons”, which are only worthwhile if there is an oversupply of renewable energy. Binding CO2 in plants is considered a promising alternative – and this is where an American start-up from Silicon Valley comes in, which wants to save our climate not by mere reforestation, but by planting genetically modified “super trees”. It wouldn’t be the first time in Earth’s history that plants have changed the climate.
