For the sake of the question, let’s just assume that no apocalyptic event happens that wipes out the human race.

    Maybe… when Biology booms similarly to LLM models like GPT… then we would see a bug fixed in the plants, which absorb CO2 pretty slowly with a protein building block and thus create an extreme amount of that protein instead of fixing the protein. Which means, if we fix the Protein and modify all plants to create and use it instead through DNA manipulation, then we could have a brighter future than we are now imagining (maybe only a bit less dystopical is what I mean)

      I don’t think thats really possible. One of the reasons why we have a hard time figuring Out how to get CO2 Out of the atmosphere is because chemically its such non reaction Gas. This stuff interacts with almost nothing and if it reacts (as in being bound to Saccharose and Cellulose in Plants), its always requiring somewhat large amounts of external Energy. So neither technology Nor bilogy will save us
