As you can see, in another four months it can spread around the planet to overlap w/in ½ year... These are
41
numbers the Alien Zookeeper likes, but YMMV 8-P! Anyhow, we stop at one new continent and ~1gigatonne.

What do you do with 233 gigatonnes of carbon-stuff? (besides feed the world, end war, etc.) I'm glad you asked...

them throughout the world, just by assigning some of our stockpile to the food-makers, plus a delivery system- airships!
