Global Hi-Tech Adjustments
This group gathers all those hi-tech or apparently fanciful solutions which involve compensating for the increasing temperature, and possibly other changes, with massive global engineering intervention.
It is easy to riddicule such actions but increasingly likely that the delays in tackling the problem will lead to global catastrophies on such a scale that these remedies will be deployed.
At last in 2010 a UN Body is discussing guidelines for the potentially dangerous experiments to prove the effectiveness of such solutions.
Recent discoveries relating to the sizes of dust particles in the atmosphere will assist some of these interventions.
Most suggestions could reduce temperature but do not tackle the other related problems like ocean acidity.
Your help to gather and present and comment on these is very welcome.
