TIL There are approximately 10^30 viruses in Earth's oceans, impacting the process which sequesters carbon in the sea. By increasing the amount of respiration in the oceans, viruses reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by about 3 gigatonnes of carbon per year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar…

Where can I find a platform which shows me engineering problems that have yet to be solved? For example, in 2021 a team of engineers must find out a way to capture a substantial amount of carbon dioxide via machinefrom the Earth’s atmosphere.

If there is a platform that has a list of unsolved engineering problems, would you be so kind to send it to me :)

> The team studied the chemical composition of tiny fossils, about the size of a pin head collected from deep ocean sediments of the Caribbean Sea. They used this data to reconstruct the concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere during the Pliocene epoch, around 3 million years ago when our planet was more than 3Β°C warmer than today with smaller polar ice caps and higher global sea-levels.

> "Having surpassed Pliocene levels of CO2 by 2025, future levels of CO2 are not likely to have been experienced on Earth at any time for the last 15 millions years, since the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum, a time of even greater warmth than the Pliocene."

By 2025, carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere will be higher than at any time in the last 3.3 million years
