Almost 10.000.000.000.000 kg of CO2 is every year released and mainly stays in the atmosphere. We increased the concentration from 300 ppm to more than 400 ppm during the last hundred year. And we will most likely double it before we move to CO2 neutral methods of energy production.
So, can we even avoid the negative consequences of the released CO2?
Despide all negative news on global warming, I see one viable option to save our civilization. But we need to change our thinking in two ways: Firstly, we need to start using tools of 21st century and secondly, we need to start looking for the solution out of Earth boundaries. The most effective way to counter the inevitable greenhouse effect is to build a sun-shade in space. If we block just 1% of the Sun’s light, we will compensate for the temperature increase of 1.5°C!
