A Brazil paper company already has super fast growing GMO trees.

>Yeah my hope is that the billions of tons of waste carbon in the atmosphere could be collected and re-assembled into solid structures

Well, it is partially a solar energy collector. Joke aside, nano "machines" are not possible. However, we do have biotechnology. That is where such technology should be leading. Hijacking existing systems in nature to make what we want.

This is the dumbest shit ever.

Just plant some GMO eucalyptus that you can harvest every 7 years. You can still have a job and the land can still be used for something. Not to mention that the amount of CO2 being sequestered in the wood is outstanding.

I suppose it really depends on what job in forestry you want to be doing. Like surveyor/planner or tree topper/machinery runner. It can be fucking brutal or an amazing outdoor experience depending on the job. You can even do genetics, biology, etc.

Already a thing.

GMO Eucalyptus was design to grow super fast. Any plant designed to grow super fast will be pulling in a lot more CO2 than a normal non-GMO plant of the same type.

GMO eucalyptus has a 7 year turn around already. They are shooting 5 years or should have it there by now. Not much news from that sector really.

Yes, trees would help, but then you have trillions of logs you can't allow to decompose.

We had a few threads about this already. The answer was to have a global-wide planting of trees numbering in the trillions. You use GMO eucalyptus trees with a 5.5 to 7 year growth cycle. The trees get chopped down then submerged and stored in the mariana trench.

Plant growth is going to go apeshit though.

The more a plant grows and has mass the more carbon it captures. They are by their very nature carbon capturing devices. Increasing that rate merely means increasing their growth rate.

In South America they are planting GMO eucalyptus trees for the paper industry. Since they need more paper at a faster rate that also means the trees must grow faster and capture more carbon at the same time. While these trees are not being used for bettering the environment through carbon capturing, their initial reason does the same thing.

If the wood is good for building purposes then it can be stored and used for housing and such. That is the only real way to slow down the release of the carbon back into the environment.

GMO Eucalyptus Trees.

Grow them.
Harvest them.
Don't burn them or let them rot.
Replant.
Repeat.

That is the best answer for carbon sequestration. It is one of the least wasteful and fastest carbon foot print cycles.

We are. Like literally. There's a whole line of GMO trees being farmed specifically for fuel and lumber. It grow SUPER fucking fast too.

Check out Brazil's GMO eucalyptus trees. They grow super fast and are planted specifically for logging. It allows them to use far less land for logging.

Also, I raise my own chickens. That's the only meat I actually eat.
