Geo-engineering ideas to mitigate climate change


Geo-engineering ideas have been, and are proposed as workable solutions to climate change.

ideas.
Advocates of these ideas are not eager to see any of them implemented, but see one of them at least of them as inevitable as the world’s atmosphere continues to be polluted by carbon dioxide.

For many years, most have argued, and agreed, that human habitation was sustainable provided the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere remained at our below 350 parts per million.

A symbolic moment occurred in past week when 400ppm level was passed as the human onslaught continued, unabated.

Various geo-engineering ideas where explored in a recent ABC story – "Five Ways to Save the World".

What is intended is understood, but it is important we understand that the discussion should not be about “saving the world” as irrespective of how we behave, the world itself will be okay, but the species on it are what  need saving.

The discussion is really not about saving the world, rather saving and protecting the conditions that all species or all varieties to survive and prosper.
