Are carbon-neutral solar fuels the answer?
Pic related is at stake, don't leave me hanging.

I know we already have climate threads, but they're caught up debating whether or not it's real in stead of discussing what can be done about it.

we could develop biofuels further to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and become carbon neutral but then there's the issue of reversing the damage already done

the main obstacle is lignin

We've got options for mitigation, just no sense of urgency.

what economic ramifications?

Aren't most known biofuels fossil fuel intensive to produce? The idea is nice, but I've never seen anything promising enough out of biofuels to believe they're worthwhile outside of a few really niche cases.

These. Carbon-neutral solar fuels, like hydrogen, hold much more promise (nanomachines son).

If the marine food-webs collapse, say bye-bye to fish.

grow a bunch of sugar can and throw it in old coal mines my dude, easy way to sequester carbon.

Probably not sugar, but what if we artificially gave rise to a plant species that fixes CO2 at the expense of its other functions. Such a plant wouldn't survive in the wild, and the carbon would have to go into somthing other than glucose. Is such a thing even possible?
