RE: There's so much CO2 in the atmosphere that planting trees can no longer save us

If only there was some sort of magical plant that we could use that takes more c02 out of the air than trees, doesn't require pesticides, and repairs the soil for future food crops. If there was such a magical plant, I would like to think it could also be used for making fuel, stronger plastic than oil, stronger rope than oil, stronger fibers than cotton, replace concrete for house construction, and make paper. And, it should be able to be harvested 4 times a year allowing the trees that are no longer needed to continue to take in c02 as well. That's just to name some of the things this magical plant might be able to do.

Oh wait! There is a magical plant that does all of those things already!

HEMP!!

We covered hemp in the book Drawdown, which contains information on how we can begin to drawdown atmospheric CO2 levels. https://steemit.com/science/@johnniec/drawdown-the-most-comprehensive-plan-ever-proposed-to-reverse-global-warming
