Why solving Global Warming is difficult

Climate change is the largest threat to life on Earth. Stopping and reversing Global Warming will require BOTH reducing net emissions and capturing carbon dioxide. Humanity must store more carbon than it emits each year until a sustainable balance is achieved.

Three steps to reverse Global Warming

1) Grow as much biomass (specifically trees) as feasible, as photosynthesis represents the most cost-effective method for removing carbon from the atmosphere.

2) Ship the biomass (predominately timber) to suitable locations within the Antarctic Circle, where it is combined with seawater to create composite icebergs.

3) Tow the composite icebergs to the Antarctic coastline, where the low temperatures and seawater prevent organic decay (capturing the carbon).

Policy implications

All countries (that have suitable climate to grow biomass) can contribute so a shared global solution.

Allows developed nations who produce greatest carbon emissions to pay ‘fair’ share without politically divisive issue of direct reparations.
