And While Politics Roils, This is What We Should Be Doing: The Plan to Grab the World's Carbon With Supercharged Plants

Here in WIRED magazine.

For the environment and our future, we are going to have to increasingly focus on things like this.

Machines sucking carbon out of the air sound like a good idea: and the scale and scope is daunting.

Per the article, plants have been doing this for 500 MILLION YEARS.

Thank you Joanne Chory. Let's put this on national and global agendas ASAP.

Every polluting industry should be paying into a fund planting trees and helping research better carbon capture. EVERY POLLUTING INDUSTRY. While we responsibly phase them out and they help us morph into a clean energy civilization, which is self-evident and necessary.

And of course, the below is NOT what we should be doing:

Extinction Rebellion protests win political attention in the U.K. - NBC News

Well, we are doing something here 

"After 1,000 arrests and days of disruption, one group's direct action has successfully driven climate change up the political agenda in Britain.

I think we’ve become hugely popular and politicians are aware of that," organizer Nuala Gathercole Lam told NBC News. "There has been a shift toward understanding the urgency of this."

The group is rallying behind warnings from scientists, the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that significant reductions in carbon emissions must be achieved within the next 11 years to avoid devastating consequences for the planet, such as mass extinction, by the end of the century."

We all need to do more, our governments and the US Government in particular.

Because on the same day, Researchers say world's second-largest emperor penguin colony has been wiped out

"Phil Trathan, a penguin expert with BAS who co-authored the report, said “it is impossible to say whether the changes in sea-ice conditions at Halley Bay are specifically related to climate change, but such a complete failure to breed successfully is unprecedented at this site.”

“Even taking into account levels of ecological uncertainty, published models suggest that emperor penguins numbers are set to fall dramatically," he said, adding that the penguins are likely to lose between 50 percent and 70 percent "of their numbers before the end of this century as sea-ice conditions change as a result of climate change.”
