1. Use CRISPR on algae to increase CO2 consumption. 2. Release

The renewable energy industry will just find something new to bitch about oil. Like it causes cancer or autism.

Define "CRISPR"
Define "algae"
Define "CO2"
Define "consumption"
Define "nature"
Define "gf"

Only then will I be able to give an accurate answer.

It's a foolproof plan guys. I can't believe nobody thought of this before

>>8528704
Easy.
CRISPR: that wacky gene editing stuff
algae: comeon dude look at the picture
CO2: evil warm chemicals. stay away
consumption: it's what algae do
nature: it's where algae live
gf: something you'll never have

>>8528665
1.α Algae is conditioned to consume gargantuan amounts of CO2.
2. ß algae git's killed off and α algae has no bidnezz to hanel. ß algae starves and dies off.
3. Human society believes carbon emissions is ok, now and starts taking the jeep to work.
4.????
5. Global Meltdown.

WTF?!!?!?

>>8528737
a more co2 dependent algae would reduce the likelihood of an algal bloom, or so could be hypothesized on the basis of cellular efficiency given the requirement of greater amounts of CO2

>use CRISPR on algae to increase CO2 consumption
there's like a hundred steps in there you're glossing over

>>8528744
you'd be better off going with diatoms. They create a near pure carbon shell, then die and float to the sea floor.

Kronenburg the world.

>>8528786
I think you mean hack the planet

>>8528751
Youre thinking of a protist other than diatoms, they have a silica casing, but your idea isn't diminished

Wow so a bunch of insecure and incompetent scientists claiming the end of the world for the last 50 years are finally going to convince some clever sciences with a brand new dna technique to start the end of the world by creating a happening organism so no one will ever find out the original scientists were full of shit?? Really makes you think.

>>8528708
you're a fag.

4. GM Algae becomes the ultimate invasive species, eliminating all other plant species followed by everything that depends upon them (e.g. humans).

tl;dr: biological terrorism.

If science has taught us anything, it's that any field which can't be distilled down to no more than a dozen equations is too complex for us to really understand.

>>8528665
1. Super-algae grows out of control, because it's not a product of nature
2. The planet gets overgrown with it as it edges out all other plantlife -- including crops
3. Finally too high a percentage of oxygen creates an environment toxic to oxygen-breathing life, which all starts to die
4. Those few that manage to start adapting starve to death as the food chain is destroyed by algae overgrowth into everything
5. Finally all the CO2 is consumed and even the algae dies off

You get an 'F' in terraforming, OP.

How are people gonna pay carbon taxes if you do that?

FUND IT

Algaes eat all stuff trees need to eat, you cannot harvest algaes effectively from the nature, there are better solutions...

Sounds good, let's do it.

I would like to see CO2 rise to 800ppm, feed the Gaia. Let's make CO2 great again!

Did someone say oxygen-rich environment?

>>8528665
>oxygen-rich environment

That's not good.

>that feel when your mixtape is so fire due to the oxygen rich environment it literally becomes a hazard to human life

Atmospheric CO2 is already the main limiting factor in plant growth rate. increasing CO2 consumption makes no sense as most plants are already starved for CO2 as it is.
