    <<If done to scale, according to Dr Lackner, synthetic trees could help clean
    up an atmosphere grown heavy with carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas
    produced by humans and implicated in climate warming.

    He predicts that one synthetic tree could remove 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in a
    year - the emissions equivalent of 15,000 cars.

    "You can be a thousand times better than a living tree," he said. >>
