Chlorobustony (CBN)

CBN is a chemical compound created in 2045 by the famous Fio Calabresi and Kael Marafei. CBN is used for reducing the carbon footprint of a planet in a sustainable way, almost the opposite of fracking. There is a very thin and long drill that injects CBN 50 feet down into the soil. The effects aren’t instant, but take 2-3 months to process and reduce.

History
In the 1920’s, Thomas J Midgley sped up climate change with his chemical creations. Thomas introduced the earth to both leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), two of the world's most harmful chemical compounds. At the time, Midgley won many prestigious awards for his new inventions, but research of the matter led to the confrontation of the fact that the chemical compounds used in refrigerators and cars ended up ravaging the environment and poisoning people. Calabresi and Marafei worked on reducing the effects of the chemicals. Both Calabresi and Marafei came from very overpopulated and polluted areas just like many others did, so they grew up being doubtful of change.

How did we get there?
Science experiments aren’t cheap. You need some sort of funding, either it's from your own stash or from thousands of donors. In this case, Calabresi and Marafei couldn’t fund themselves. For years they had been protesting against fracking industries, going on strikes and marches as they were trying to change the world. In the year 2041, they organized a global strike on climate change. They cut out the cities from their power if it was unsustainable, and burned the warehouses for large construction machines. 4.7 billion people participated in this rebellion, too many for the United Nations militia to fight back. Fio and Kael raised $9.9 billion for their cause, and the four-year long experiment began.
