Humans: "We need a complex, expensive industrial facility to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!"

Trees: "I've been doing this for 370 million years using just sunlight and water, but sure, go ahead with your fancy metal contraptions."

Honestly, nothing beats nature's original carbon capture technology. Trees don't need electricity, don't break down, AND they make oxygen as a side product instead of requiring it. Plus, they're self-replicating and biodegradable. Talk about efficient design!

Maybe instead of reinventing photosynthesis with extra steps, we could just... plant more trees? Revolutionary concept, I know.
