Do I feel some climatoscepticism, or at least climatodenialism in this message ?
Pathologizing dissent is not going to change anyone’s mind.
If something was going to change their mind it would be changed by now.

#32Could we breed trees which capture more CO2? We increased crop yields multifold already: https://ourworldindata.org/crop-yields So maybe we can do the same to carbon yield? Are trees the plants which capture most CO2 per hectare?
There's part of me thinks just let the worst happen and let it end half of humanity, that way we might learn to live more in harmony with our environment. Currently we're a pox on this planet.
> let it end half of humanity
What about other animals?

#33Vote out any policy maker who impedes the response to climate change.
This is not something we fix as individuals, with feel-good home solutions, recycling, or planting trees. Large industry is destroying our world, on purpose, because of greed.
This only gets fixed through policy and regulation. Vote.

I believe algae, and speifically Coccolithophores, have played a large part in capturing CO2 in the atmosphere. But I believe the efficiency per volume is low.

Your two quotes don't follow: > We increased crop yields multifold already With catastrophic effects. > Most of it is because of animal agriculture.
As example most soy is used by animal agriculture.

Given this is a discussion forum with global reach your suggestion on implementing change to global industrial policy via voting may or may not be viable (not everyone gets to vote, and most of the countries lack global impac. US is really unique along with few other countries being able to influence global industry trends).

#39Did we also panic in 2014 that was above average by a similar margin? I just can't remember
Was it similar? The graph in article is showing that it was not.
