Mankind is perverse in the fact that we repeat this particular pattern over and over again. In times of natural climate change the average man turns to soothsayers who claim to be able to cure the problem through sophisticated witchcraft and crazy schemes. Once upon a time these frauds would claim the best of every harvest and human sacrifices. Now they claim the best of every harvest (taxation) and they still demand that others sacrifice for their cause.
Same story, different era.
(1) Cyanobacter infected with certain viruses in the ocean increase their oxygen production several times over the unstimulated background level. This produces half the oxygen found in our atmosphere.
(2) Scientists reveal they can emulate the process and use genes from four different bacterial strains to load into cyanobacter and give it enough umph to take ordinary carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen and a potential fuel not all that different from "light crude".
(3)Which means we have an entirely new category of bio-weapon which can also power our automobiles and every other machine on Earth at little cost directly from the Sun.
