In the late 1960s I was a science student at the University of NSW, Kensington, Australia. I studied biological sciences,including Biochemistry.
I never forget my wonder at the exquisitiveness and dare I say elegance of the Krebs Cycle (respiration), and the Photosynthesis Cycle; CO2 being crucial molecule. Every atom, photon, phosphate molecule, energy ADP to ATP, all was in Balance, everything was accounted for.
Since those ancient days, biochem has made great strides and even I struggle to understand it now.
One can learn more from Kahn Academy which describes all in detail. I might be brave and study more, to explain here, and to save a snip of the diagrammatic Cycles, complete with complex enzymes organising this chemistry. All mathematical.
If we are too smart and get rid of CO2 then there will be friggin nothing left to bring life alive on this planet.
That is how urgent it is to realise that some controllers want us to believe lies.....

My Letter, to a friend. I am saying it all too!!!
hi Emily, interesting.
now "carbon". it sounds like this carbon is pollution! here is an
important TEDx talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM-ySWyID9o How breathing
and metabolism are interconnected. Ruben Meerman (the surfing scientist)
TEDxBundaberg Dec 5, 2019. Great diagrams on atomic level. at 3:36 minutes he
asks people "What's the gas you breathe out because you're alive?"
answers were "carbon dioxide". Then "Where do the carbon atoms
in carbon dioxide come from?" Astonishingly almost nobody knew the answer!
they said pollutants? fumes, gas, cars, vehicles, cow poop, out of my lungs,
from the bloodstream, one guy said "From living things? plants, the food
we eat" He was a PE teacher. he got it right. Ruben said "This is a
gapeing hole in health literacy!" So he goes on to elegantly describe the
metabolism we should all understand in our bodies. Equations,
fats/carbs/proteins all are changed into carbon dioxide and water. eg for a
smoothie (at 14 minutes) C6H12O6 (sugar) + C55H104O6 (fat) + C100H159N26O32S0.7
(protein) all metabolises to CO2 + H2O + CH4N2O (urea) + sulphate + energy. At
the end he shows a kit of coloured magnetic balls representing atoms which
children can put together to make molecules. I think it is worth shareing! I am
writing a blog post "the elegance of CO2" in
www.awhatifworld.blogspot.com not completed yet- Krebs Cycle and Calvin Cycle
to go. and YT has great animation videos of these biochem processes where
everything is perfectly orchestrated. This carbon dioxide being a cause of
climate emergency is a huge scam! It takes a bit to explain, and I have done
many posts to date. but there is more to elucidate. eg CO2 during Ice Ages and
volcanics and extinctions. the CO2 went up or down after the events. Amazing
how the whole planet is under a spell of misinformation. Climate is being
changed on purpose with extraordinary technologies HAARP, EISCAT, SURA and
chemtrails and bunker fuels- Mike Morales explains on YT AGWN. And further,
there is a big takedown of DUMBs which is connected to what is going on, behind
the scenes- JC Kay explains. So things are not all what they seem. God uses His
Expedience? A big Scenario, ongoing. We can all win, ultimately. And 5G can
possibly be ok if they use 432 hz iaw Tesla, but that is another story. Good to
be wary and vigilant for now, as you say.

Artificial leaf could soon fuel the planet,
Melbourne researchers say

Melbourne researchers say it may only be a matter of years before the
artificial leaf is fuelling every community, house and car on the planet.
The machine they have designed relies on a so-far largely untapped fuel
source — hydrogen — and draws heavily on the plant process of photosynthesis,
in which a plant converts sunlight into energy.
"We have to learn as much as we can from photosynthesis, which is
what goes on in leafy plants, because that's where most of our energy comes
from in terms of fossil fuels or current kinds of carbon materials that we use
either as food or fuel," said Professor Doug MacFarlane from Monash University's
School of Chemistry.
Photosynthesis is nature's most efficient way to make fuel.
"If we can learn what plants do with sunlight and use it to make
carbon compounds, then we can potentially make artificially produced fuels for
all of the reasons we need fuels currently," Professor MacFarlane said.
Over the years, other researchers have used a variety of metals as an
artificial catalyst for the process, but many were rare and expensive.
By using nickel as the catalyst, Professor MacFarlane and his colleagues
have been able separate hydrogen from water at a reasonable cost.
"Obviously the devices we're talking about are expensive to build
and install," he said.
"So the efficiency in terms of producing fuel that it achieves has
to be fairly high to make it worthwhile."
Success would
herald 'energy revolution'
In this field of study, the process is considered to be practically
efficient if 10 per cent of the solar energy used is captured as hydrogen, but
the researchers have gone well beyond that.
In earlier tests they recorded 18 per cent efficiency. Now, they have
reached 22.4 per cent.
"There are many catalysts that are considerably more sophisticated
than nickel and often involving obscure and expensive precious metals,"
Professor MacFarlane said.
"So nickel is a rather ordinary catalyst in many respects expect
for one thing, which is that it's cheap. It's an inexpensive metal and ... it
produces a very, very stable action in its water electrolysis cell.

"So it's an ideal choice purely and simply because of the
cost."
The researchers believe the technology could be ready to use in homes
within a few years and shortly after that in fuel stations.
It cannot come soon enough for the Australian National University's
Professor Thomas Faunce, who has convened two global conferences on artificial
photosynthesis.
He argues success in this field will herald an energy revolution.
"If we can convert all the human-made structures on the surface of
the Earth, every road and house and bridge into a structure that does
photosynthesis better than plants, then we can take the pressure off nature and
we can have distributed food and fuel across the planet," Professor Faunce
said.
The medical and science specialist is trying to establish a global
project on artificial photosynthesis, like the human genome project, the Hubble
Telescope and the Large Hadron Collider.
Challenge to
replace old way of doing business
Professor Faunce argues such global cooperation could deliver the key to
dealing with major climate change and the energy security problems facing the
world's population.
But he also foresees some obstacles.
"The carbon-intensive industries like coal and oil are making vast
profits from the infrastructure that they have in place," he said.
"They will be looking askance at this technology and thinking well
is it something we can profit from or is it something that's going to inhibit
our profits."
Professor Faunce had some advice for would-be competitors.
"Look at it carefully because this is something that if you invest
in now would actually earn you vast profits, because think of what you could
earn if the process had to go on of retro-engineering artificial photosynthesis
and to all the structures on the surface of the Earth," he said.
"There's vast amounts of money made for the corporation prepared to
take this challenge."
The research is published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science.
