📕 Episode 48: Coal Cycle and "Dual Carbon" Goals 📕

Ever wondered if Mother Earth has her own built‑in carbon reset button?😯

We travel back to ancient coal‑forming epochs, compare competing CO₂ ppm forecasts, and unpack a thought‑provoking model: could stronger photosynthesis slow carbon‑dioxide rise, super‑charge plant growth, and even let bioenergy beat fossil fuels on price?

Geology, climate feedbacks and dual‑carbon insights all packed in one video.
