Engineering Photosynthesis to Save the Planet

It was a great pleasure to read the article by blogger and retired scientist, pathologist and blogger Craigavad miscellany “Can We Engineer Photosynthesis to Save the Planet?” Note, he has written 240 peer reviewed papers.

The article describes how the evolutionary invention of Photosynthesis transformed the planet. He states that “atmospheric CO₂ continues to rise because of our uncontrolled use of hydrocarbon fuels.” He asked a very interesting question. “Could we use photosynthesis to remove enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make a significant difference to climate change?” The article is very professionally written and full of interesting information and I urge you to read it.
