We humans are great at a number of things and very, very bad at several others. For example, we’re pretty terrible when it comes to managing our waste and cleaning up after ourselves and, on a related note, we’re really good at producing carbon as a result of burning various fuels for energy. In fact, we just hit a rather frightening new milestone in our CO2 emissions, and scientists universally agree that the planet is warming as a result.
We need to do better, clearly, but we’re not in this alone. A new study published in Trends in Plant Science reveals that Mother Earth is prepared to join us in the fight to clean things up, and plants worldwide are already working overtime to offset the carbon we can’t stop spewing out.
