Too many people are saying that it would allow us to continue releasing carbon dioxide, but that doesn't matter. Regardless, we need to start a serious global plan with the best of our knowledge to reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as soon as possible. The lack of a plan is setting us up to fuck up the future for the next generation, heat waves, massive hurricanes, etc. We only have another couple years to plan this seriously and begin the routine to reverse climate change. This will not be an excuse to continue burning fossil fuels, and any argument that pushes that is illegitimate.

Be honest, did you even know about this before I posted? Did you know that phytoplankton and algae in certain parts of the ocean convert the vast majority of all carbon dioxide on the planet every year?
