Early this year, some U.S. climatologists argued for seeding the atmosphere with particulant pollutants, i.e., soot, to reflect sunlight; now, British “Gaia” hypothesis deviser James Lovelock wants to create a giant oceanic heat pump to stimulate algae growth to suck up carbon dioxide.
Yes, it could work; but, with such radical tinkering, there’s no guarantee it would work. Plus, ideas like this are guaranteed to fuel American “technology true believers” who think we can tech our way out of any problem.
