That's cool. Tech is infant though, but cool nonetheless

And I look forward to the day that rhetoric actually matches reality. Like everybody's all about reducing emissions, but reality is that's not gonna do shit. It's possible that emissions could be eliminated overnight, yet the earth would continue warming to catastrophic temperatures due to natural lengthy heating and feedback of GHG

I started this thread claiming the only hope will ultimately boil down to artificial trees, but I take that back. I now suspect that it will be about artificial oceanic 'trees', not atmospheric ones. The story of climate change is all about the oceans, and things are looking really bad for them. Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are said to be in runaway melt mode due to ocean temp, and the most recent estimates I've seen is that the Arctic will be acidic by 2020, and the entire ocean by 2100. This is the worst news I've seen so far

IMO, if we're gonna fix the situation, it will either boil down to some unknown natural barrier which will stop warming before mass extinction is triggered (very doubtful), or we're gonna have to mass manufacture GHG capture and sequester machines straight from the oceans and atmosphere. And we don't currently have the tech to do this. In fact, we're not even close to tech for the oceans AFAIK

I dunno why, but I love me a good doomsday scenario. I really hope the human race gets its act together, but I very much doubt it will happen in time
