K..." greatest technological achievement"<br /><br />Kim Stanley Robinson has written some Cli-Fi (Climate Sci-Fi) where we a do this....<br />- Building a pipeline to the top of Antarctica to pump the excess water up there where it will (presumably) again freeze.<br />- dumping loads of salt in the N. Atlantic to restart a broken Gulf Stream.<br /><br />imo, technological attempts to fix could be disastrous .. I'd risk a biological (plant carbon capture) fix over a tech fix (but maybe I'm just splitting hairs) Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-58206031934252576042016-02-10T11:33:05.633-08:002016-02-10T11:33:05.633-08:00Yes, I'm quite familiar with Lovelock and the ...<br />Yes, I'm quite familiar with Lovelock and the Gaia hypothesis, NPoV.
