I don't know if this is possible but was looking for another element that might latch onto carbon and push the O2 off.  Silicon looks like a candidate so how about loading lots of sand on top of the tundra then use something heavy to compress it  to make SiC?  I don't have the expertise to get into details and don't know if this is even possible but I haven't heard anything like it so thought I'd share with folks who'd know if it's doable.

Needs to be against the law to construct property or undertake major renovation without installing maximum possible solar energy generation, rainwater recycling, ground heat collection (where space allows).
