Most organisms metabolize organic materials into methane, not CO2.

Edit: > Direct methane emissions released to the atmosphere (without burning) are about 25 times more powerful than CO2 in terms of their warming effect on the atmosphere.

But building a pool, throwing in plastic and bacteria could be a good thing after all.

Then just plant some trees to convert co2 into wood, then cut down the trees, make furniture, then dump furniture into oceans to make new oil.

The circle of oil!

AFAIK this circle has stopped working when new organisms evolved that could degrade cellulose ?
