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.
