The Role of Synthetic Biology in Atmospheric Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Summary:
- decisions are complicated, wide-ranging.
- scaling is not easy - petri-dish is easy, reactor or wide deployment is not (like other reactors)
- containment is difficult
- cost-benefit ratio is important and complicated to determine
- while any release is global, GMO regulation differs vastly between countries.

Organizations
- Work On Climate - includes job board on slack, lots of people
- Airminers - startups and ideas
Project Vesta - accelerated weathering on the beach

Help reverse climate change by turning a trillion tonnes of CO2 into rock.
Taking rock (Olivine) and dumping it on the beach, so that the waves break it down, adjust ocean pH and mineralize the CO₂.
