Will a botanist ever be capable of producing a "World Tree"? A tree so vast and so large, it draws its nutrients and energy from magma inside the earth, it's leaves end global warming in 30 seconds, and it slows the rotation of the earth? Is this a possibility? Should we be investing in CRISPR/Botanists?
This isn't off topic

the tree would be turned into a big shopping mall

Will there ever be an Elon Musk of plants? Dude, you could just grow a city, if this is feasible it's fucking COOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

If I make it and have more time I think I’ll get heavily into CRISPR. I’d make some monstrosities

Please do.

and after that start a new ice age, well done

why should we

ok you're a dreamer, but it would burn from the fundation
>A tree so vast and so large
it would burn from the roof too

Cool trips, now let me explain to you a few issues with this.
First of all a single world tree will need to have a crown bigger than the amazon forest itself in order to produce any type of noticeable CO2 consumption effect.
Second, any type of roots will burn if they bury near magma, effectively killing the tree. Cellulose burns easy. Period. There is not way around this.
If it is big enough to slow the rotation of the earth, it is big enough to have its own gravitational pull and it will essentially collapse the earth beneath itself causing irreparable damage to the earth's general shape. This is an extinction level event.
Now let's take Teldrassil from World of Warcraft. It is big enough to house a city, a couple of villages and some wilderness. A forest of such trees, would be much more practical, rather than one bigger tree. Not to mention more surface area in terms of branches and leaves, so it will be morw effective in cleaning the air + the forest of smaller world trees won't disrupt the earth's gravitational and geothermal processes
