Because of methane's greater greenhouse potency, the warming potential of the emissions measured during the second period greatly exceeded the potential cooling produced by the uptake of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Although photosynthesis is an effective means of producing food, wood products, and carbon stored in vegetation, it is an inefficient means of converting the energy in the sun's rays into a form of non-food energy useable by people.

When photosynthesis intensifies, plants remove more carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels from the atmosphere.

For me, that means I'd like to see it broken down, which Coby has done well so far, by (these are just examples i'd like to see): Factors and evidence supporting or effectively debunking a) ocean acidity, which in itself has produced a number of alarming effects including less saline density in turn causing a slowing of thermohaline circulation (such as the gulf stream) b) photosynthesis - carbon sinks vs. sources or any direction that you'd like to take using what science knows CO2 to have an effect on.

The device is inspired by the natural process of photosynthesis, in which plants produce energy by tapping on sunlight to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen.
