we already know how photosynthesis is done ; so why cant we creat “artificial plants” that take CO2 and gives O2 and energy in exchange?

By artificially creating plantations or, in other words, afforestation. That’s probably the way forward.

If there’s a way to assess how many trees were cut, per capita, and if we replace at least that much, in about 15 to 30 years, we can hit equilibrium? Not sure if my approach is correct (accounting for the time a plant takes to grow into a full size tree).

If annual afforestation exceeds annual per capita consumption, we may actually reverse the trend? But then again, it would probably take a decade or two?
