BS J-- there is a recent issue of Science that deals with CO2 fixing
plants, bacteria and fungus that have GW capabilities--if I have time
I'll try and summarize it.



Keywords: Vol 318 Dec 14, 2007 p. 1732

Fifth pathway of carbon fixation found in organism Metallosphaera.
Also found in autotrophic organisms, Bacteria, Eurkarya (Calvin 1961
was first, Evans 1966 was second, 1980s gram-positive bacteria and
methane-forming archaea was third; Chloroflexus green-sulfer bacterium
was fourth, and now Berg et al 318 Science 1782 is fifth pathway of
carbon fixation from CO2.

Long story short, which I'll report in a seperate post, you can use
five different ways to suck CO2 out of the air using microbes.
