WHAT IF...WE HAVE TO RESCUE THE CLIMATE?

摘要

It's 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines. They suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don't let CO_2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and pumped into underground storage reservoirs. Ships dump powdered minerals into the water to soak up CO_2 and reduce ocean acidification.
