Scientists Weigh Risks of Climate "Techno-Fixes"
from The Christian Science Monitor
Faced with the specter of a warming planet and frustrated by the lack of progress on the issue, some scientists have begun researching backup plans that run the gamut from space mirrors that deflect the sun’s energy to carbon-dioxide-absorbing algae.

Sure, shutting down a fossil fuel economy is the trillion dollar question, but what will the figures be if we don't shut it down? What is the price an extinction crisis? Our economy is threating everything except us ... oh wait, us too: killer heat and killer storms.
It is an 'inconvenient truth' but money is just colored paper people !
We have got to stop digging ourselves into this carbon hole, then work on filling it in. Doesn't make much sense to be digging down in the same hole you are filling up.
don't sell your cars, decomission them. Maybe the implementation of mass local food farms would store a good quantity of the carbon? Sweaters not heaters.
Barter economy anybody? Sounds good to me.
Algae and mirrors? me thinks no good. algae die .. then what?
mirrors? digging down and filling up. sci-fi, but sign me up for the other. :-)
