I appreciate your comment & we hope to convince you otherwise as we get more process data from getting to pilot scale & beyond. Biodiversity is already being harmed today by the droughts, fires, floods, human migration patterns, etc. caused by ongoing global warming due to anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere, and this harm may likely only get worse in the decades to come without the development of solutions that make an attempt to reverse things.

Foreseeable economic constraints of incentive structures provide no capacity for handling a direct bypass of the natural process of life. The form of business you are creating short-circuits the ecosystem because the free market economy does not possess the intelligence that is built into the natural process.

Please understand, this is not as simple as you think.

*deforestation due to climate-influenced movement of arable land e.g. desertification also harms biodiversity as well
