Anthropogenic Global Warming True Believers Propose Giant CO2 Sucking Towers or Something



Haven't they heard the temperature has stabilized over the last 10 years?
(AFP) — On the heels of another halting round of talks on climate change, UN scientists this week will review quick-fix options for beating back the threat of global warming that rely on technology rather than political wrangling.

Experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), meeting for three days from Monday in the Peruvian capital Lima, will ponder “geo-engineering” solutions designed to cool the planet, or at least brake the startling rise in Earth’s temperature.

Seeding the ocean with iron, scattering heat-reflecting particles in the stratosphere, building towers to suck carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere, and erecting a giant sunshade in space are all on the examining table.

Critics say such schemes — some of which have been tested experimentally — are a roll of the dice with Earth’s climate system and its complex web of biodiversity.
"The startling rise in Earth’s temperature"? The actual recent data does not support this statement.

I'm not confident that these "believers" would know what a "giant CO2-sucking tower" is, if one fell on them--

They're called TREES!
