That was beautiful,

But how does everyone gets to decide? They vote on what constitutes toxic behavior? Can everyone vote?
Many mediums already allow for such a system, for instance in this very discussion We can flag comments as inappropriate. I don't know how it works, but I believe that if several people mark a post as inappropriate it might be removed or edited in a way or another.

I also fail to see how disagreeing with your point of view disempowers other groups, even if they are wrong, or not, that you are defending, or not, mass censorship.

Some things sound simple when loosely explained, yet are deviously trick to implement.

Which study? If you refer to the one posted in the title above that we are discussing here, then it does not differentiate vegetable matter from cow matter.

That said there's probably no comparing the amount produced by cows and that from "leftover vegetable matter", since you need to feed a cow for ~3 years with vegetable matter that turns into farts before said cow turns into meat.

We also have to keep in mind that there haven't been a lot of engineering hours going into this, while photovoltaics have had the advantage of decades of refinement.

Agreed, and the knowledge about some materials producing electricity from light exposure dates back from the 19th century.

Furthermore they write that the ionization process requires further investigation, suggesting that they don't confidently understand what's going on there.

I don't think they do. They cite other articles in the beginning of their first paragraph and it seems like this is very novel knowledge.

From that we can take away that the actual energy is within those carboxylic acid groups, which will deplete and which will have to be generated by the bacteria metabolizing some other form of chemical energy

I also didn't get how it works (to me chemistry was always the hardest subject), however I think the bacteria isn't present in the device, only the nanowires they produced. The gadget recharging seems to be physicochemical in nature.
Whatever the recharging method, they tested it continuously for 2 months. For a new technique it looks very promising.

FFS, I can't even consider you MAGAt assholes human anymore, you are just some fucking vile subspecies, nothing more than troglodytes with an intelligence only slightly higher than a dog's

Dehumanization is a clear red flag on the shaping of hate movements. We must be careful on what we may be turning ourselves into.

It ain't that simple, but CO2 fertilization is a thing. And the world is greener thanks to that.

Check Peñuelas et al, 2016 and Mao et al, 2013.

It doesn't mean climate change is a good thing. Also doesn't mean it is bad.
Truth is we don't know precisely how things will change and that's what scares most people.
