Plants haven’t a hope in Hell of doing it. Hundreds of millions of years of buried carbon released in about 150 years, Technology will undoubtedly be the answer but we’re a long way off that right now.I guess a progressive society never aspires to go backward - we don't want to go back to walking now we have cars, we don't want to stop travelling internationally now we have planes , stop using the internet or heating our homes etc so any policy or thinking that promotes such approach will always fail
the solution ultimately probably is technology to pull the pollution from the air and clean it up again - we can invent technology to do thousand / or we can use plants to do it ......... but have to balance that with feeding people
people will noit stop flying / consuming the trapping of modern life and why should they - quality of life is better than ever for most, there is less poverty in the world that at any point in history, proposing a return to the dark ages is not a solution, society should never go backwards
no bigger myth than "the good old days"......... truth is the past WAS worse
