I invite you to look at this interesting article on The National Geographic website. They explain in simple terms some of the global-scale projects that scientists are considering to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. While fascinating, some of these ideas could potentially have massive unintended consequences. What do you think? Should carbon dioxide be reduced at any cost? Is it impossible to simply get humans to reduce their output?
I hope to take a more in-depth look at some of these ideas soon.

Geoengineering Global Warming Away

Wow. While it's great that people are coming up with innovative ideas to combat global warming, most of these have a strong whiff of the harebrained about them. Just the potential adverse effects alone are enough to make me wonder why anyone is seriously considering funding them, rather than trying to actively reduce warming's causes. Robot ships? Reflective deserts? Man-made volcanoes??? How about carbon emissions reduction... or is that too much to ask...
