#2This is why it’s important for us to develop C4 alternatives to existing C3-using food staples.

Not that you’re wrong, but I find it darkly amusing that rather than than cut back on all the crazy things we’re doing, it would make sense to instead bio engineer a bunch of plant life to deal instead.

What's the connection? I thought the Ci would be Koppen climate classification but it's actually alternate carbon-fixing photosynthetic processes

How would you get grant money for that?

Certainly ain’t gonna stimulate the economy either!

Wouldn't it be the same way one would get money for bioengineering the global ecosystem? At least we know how we'd go about one of these options.

C4 is more efficient than C3 photosynthesis and allows plants both to produce more energy and to do so with less water which is an adaptation for hotter, drier climates.
