Address both ocean acidification and future energy shortages with a properly implemented nuclear renaissance.
Global water pipe network works as antena
Create a scale for each gas from 0 to 100 where 0 is solid form and from 0 to 100 is liquid form of polluting gas. Create waves of gas.
Slow down rotation of the planet to cool it down.
Antennas of 2G/3G/4G wireless network produce lots of waves of different intensity in a very short time and connect different directions
Put attention to empty space. Expand it to the moon. Change the length of meter. Recalculate all measurements. Created waves will lift heat
Movement of Things in Buildings and towns creates waves that desturb atmospheric balance on the planet. Regulated ventilation restores it.
Computers register new dimensions of time and space. History is recalculated. Heat is lifted to the outer space.
Now we see 1 meter as constant and temperature as changing. Make temperature as constant and change length of meter and duration of second.
About 50 Billion tons of Diatoms grow in lakes and oceans. Grow another 25 Billion Tons and consume all Anthropogenic Carbon Emissions.
Half of sea-level rise comes from ice flow into the ocean, this flow can be slowed by removing lubricating water from bed of the ice.
Creating large artificial hydrophonics forest in the Sahara.
A blueprint for new green-cities to attract populations from ecologically damaged areas and from areas vulnerable to sea level rise
Build a rooftop garden harnessing both urban farming and recycling of usable water.
CO2 may be provisionally sequestrated as gas blanket in fuels storage tanks to serv as raw material for further uses to fix it.
CO2 may be provisionally sequestrated as gas blanket in fuels storage tanks to serv as raw material for further uses to fix it.
Intergovernmental panel to set the Earth's thermostat and advocate for reduced CO2 emissions
This is a weird, futuristic, sci-fi, probably-won't-work idea. But what if it did work?
Testing nontoxic chemicals that stabilize methane ice, making it stable and resistant to elevated temperatures as the climate warms.
Ice is water, water is life.
Floating membranes to reflect sunlight to prevent ocean absorption of solar energy and thereby resist greenhouse warming.
Use nukes to pulverize a massive amount of basalt. The exposed magnesium and calcium oxides will react with CO2 and sequester it.
Thermal stratification of the oceans induced by global warming presents the opportunity to convert warming heat to productive energy.
A bacteria producing zero toxins multiplying within a matter of weeks may be the answer...
Carbon dioxide is unique in that it becomes a liquid at high pressures close to ambient temperature. Can this be used to sequester carbon?
This (SRM) (CDR) hybrid solution uses FREE energy to cool Planet Earth and sequestor carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
This proposal seeks effective humanitarian pathways within the four realities of political and social unrest due to climate change.
Deploy a large L1 positioned space object in orbit between the earth/sun to artificially shade sunlight to reduce earths temperature.
Fit cloud seeding devices to all commercial aircraft and use them to reduce direct sunlight on a global scale
CO2 is swept away to space by the solar wind. By using existing technology so CO2 escapes through the Polar Cusp holes, or as a “Firebreak”
Utilizing Earth's excess of GHG, begin the process of Terraforming Mars.
Restore Arctic Sea Ice extent and mass over 20 year time period with geo-engineering.
Proposes minor adjustments to the terraform of the Arctic ocean, its impact would have significant economic and environmental benefits
Tundra snow and polar ice can each be naturally restored without fossil fuel, and without adversely affecting the local environment.
Trinkwassergewinnung-Meeresspiegel senken, Wüste bepflanzen, Klima verbessern
To create a floating mass on the world's oceans that would reduce ocean acidification and remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
The quickest and safest way of cooling the planet in the short term is to restore reflectivity and shading to 1960 levels.
The Climate Plan proposes parallel lines of action to reduce the risk of methane erupting in huge quantities from the Arctic Ocean seafloor.
Tow Icebergs to recent open water in Arctic Ocean. The iceberg when it thaws will disperse fresh water that will refreeze as psuedosea ice.
Buoyant flakes on impoverished seas provide organic, slow-release nutrients to biomass, cooling, C-biosequestration & de-acidification
Semi-submersible wind turbines pump water to thicken sea-ice floes <1km to remediate global warming, methane emission and polar habitat
