Re: The Big Question: Is there a technological solution to the problem of global warm

I like the ideas but ocean fertilisation, or cloud seeding seem a little risky. Other ideas don't seem to scale. Hard to imagine a simple and easy solution that won't have big risks but who knows.

Something like fusion power could totally change the balance - if we genuinely had limitless, cheap and clean electricity then GW might be easy to solve. Having grown up in the shadow of the JET project in Culham, that was a big disappointment and fusion power seems as far away as ever. Let's hope ITER makes some big advances.
