For those who forgot how to plant trees…

One-Pot Synthesis of Carbon Nanofibers from CO2“, by George Washington University’s researchers Jiawen Ren, Fang-Fang Li, Jason Lau, Luis González-Urbina, and Stuart Licht.

“… Herein, we report the high-yield and scalable electrolytic conversion of atmospheric CO2 dissolved in molten carbonates into Carbon nanofibers (CNF). It is demonstrated that the conversion of CO2 → CCNF + O2 can be driven by efficient solar, as well as conventional, energy at inexpensive steel or nickel electrodes. The structure is tuned by controlling the electrolysis conditions, such as the addition of trace transition metals to act as CNF nucleation sites, the addition of zinc as an initiator and the control of current density. …”

Good news, no dobut – I hope people can climg or hang a swing on such plants
