It’s not like we need it to breath anyways. We’ll just pay corporations for oxygen masks and “Atmo-tanks” to breath. We have commodify everything because Capitalism requires it.
Only that sun fell on plants millions of years ago. We really don’t want that million year old carbon dioxide in the atmosphere alongside the recent stuff
AFAIR you can’t get new coal/oil because in the meantime there are fungi in the ground that would process the dead plants/alge/whatever was pressed to make the hydrocarbons. but i can’t find the source of that info, so grain of salt
That it took 400 million years for one fungus to evolve wood eating is wild to me. And no other microbe has ever evolved that ability: my understanding is all wood decay fungal species today evolved from one shared ancester.
I wasn’t intending my comment as a correction - microbe is a more general term than bacteria, and most fungi are indeed microbes - but just saw an opportunity to add on what I think is a cool fact. Thanks for bringing up the carboniferous period!
If you think about it coal fired power plants are also solar powered 🤔
True, just that an intermediate step(of many steps) is to continually destroy the atmosphere.

C’mon Cohegan, give dees peepul aihhhhhh

Very true, the conclusion I’m drawing is that solar power is actively harming the environment and causing climate change. No new solar!
Fine to think of it, it’s also renewable!

Stupid science and its “biology” ane “evolutionary timelines” always trying to ruin my fun…
Are you referring to lignen developing before there was a bilogical process to break it down?
