It may need some help in a form that would suppress the development of this radical new type of carbon resource.

Public debate would surely be heightened, accompanied by arguments that the future of life on the planet might well be threatened by the inevitable CO2 factor. If the story is true it could actually be a good thing, in an odd sort of way, by forcing hard choices to be made sooner rather than later.
