“This general approach, modifying the planet to address climate change, is known as geoengineering, and, geoengineering proposals like iron fertilization tend to raise many uncertainties and risks. Other geoengineering ideas have included pumping aerosols into the atmosphere to block out solar radiation or tucking away excess carbon in underground reservoirs. Ocean fertilization is a controversial idea, prompting protest from those who fear the unintended environmental impacts it may have.” [To hell with the environmental objections. We’ve got an environment to save!]
