  Whats wrong with reforesting, conserving, preserving, restoring Nature??
  many more benefits... as well as the aesthetics... techno fixes...
  its also very cheap in the developing world...

  Other large-scale blue-sky solutions with potentially minimal environmental degradation might include:

  1. Cycle Rail (Hybrid Human-Electric Agile Monorails) comprised of vehicles weighting under 100 pounds

  2. Sea Surface Temperature Reduction near Urban coastal Areas
  - Tropical cyclone offshore steerage
  - Heat wave mitigation and reduced energy expended on local air conditioning

  3. Tropical Cyclone Steerage and Energy Capture

  4. Polar and Temperate Zone Winter Ice Production Acceleration

  5. Ice Elevators for High Rise Cooling Retrofits

  6. Urban Solar Thermal Retrofitting of High Rise Buildings

  7. Carbon Negative Cities

  Thank you for the work you have done in publishing this article. My purpose here is to seek global warming pen pals. I have a BA in chemistry and 5 years graduate work on catalytic chemistry, and now am a senior audit student at UWM in global warming education and am participating in the FocustheNation.org group again this year if we get enough interest at UWM again this year. Last year was a small group.

  The only safe way to remove carbon from the atmosphere is by trees, simple natural science! We need to plant vast areas with trees, this provides real jobs, enhances bio deversity,encourages rain out,provides a vast resource and trees look nice.Techno fix will only result in more carbon being released as techno fixes are not carbon neutral. The biggest release of co2 came from the destruction of the rain forests and no one seems to comment on that one do they? Wake up humans!
