Animals Need O2 but Plants Need CO2
It is said that the green area on the earth has increased in these 35 years by the size equal to the U.S. And, it is thought to be due to an increase of CO2.
Plants flourishing 65 million years ago when a huge meteorite exterminated dinosaurs became the source of crude oil. Plants flourishing about 250 million or more years ago when dinosaurs came to evolve became the source of coal. And today the mankind is burning crude oil and coal to increase CO2.
So, from a wide point of view, CO2 is coming back to plants again as it came out of plants.
Animals need O2 but plants need CO2. This balance is the basic of the environment on the earth. To keep this balance, we have to increase the amount of CO2. As in the case of recent 35 years, the present conditions are suitable for growth of plants. We have to take advantage of it.
With gene engineering, we may increase the capacity of plants to capture CO2. Then, more CO2 will be absorbed by plants.
We can wait for mutation in plants to acquire such ability to absorb more CO2. However, genetically engineered plants might be a solution of our age.
