I haven’t heard anyone try to argue that they would reduce atmospheric levels of green house gases but they sure can allow you to grow crops that are more resistant to drought, require less pesticides and even reduce the need for fertilizer. Potentially reducing the amount of energy intensive inputs for agriculture would have an impact on the environment to some degree.
Not sure if it’s about “solving” climate change so much as it’s about mitigating the effects of climate change on global food production.
