I should start a list on the most hair-brain ideas to come from our universities in regards to global warming,
like this one for instance.
Vacuum the CO2 right out of the air...
How about those things towering all over the planet. But wait, here are so more ideas:
That dream has pushed scattered groups of scientists to work on massive schemes to reengineer the planet.
One idea is to block sunlight, either by constructing artificial volcanoes to blast sulfur particles into the atmosphere or by launching millions of tiny satellites into space and arranging them into a giant mirror.
Another concept is sprinkling iron over the oceans to nurture plankton colonies that would absorb carbon dioxide from the air and transfer it to the depths.
WOW!
