Carbon dioxide is unique in that it becomes a liquid at high pressures close to ambient temperature. Can this be used to sequester carbon?
Growing plants on land to absorb carbon will lead to contention of land space and fresh water. This can be negated by growing in oceans.
Tundra snow and polar ice can each be naturally restored without fossil fuel, and without adversely affecting the local environment.
Floating membranes to reflect sunlight to prevent ocean absorption of solar energy and thereby resist greenhouse warming.
The Climate Plan proposes parallel lines of action to reduce the risk of methane erupting in huge quantities from the Arctic Ocean seafloor.
A bacteria producing zero toxins multiplying within a matter of weeks may be the answer...
Remove trash from ocean, produce drinkable water, create surplus energy, remove carbon dioxide from ocean and atmosphere.
To create a floating mass on the world's oceans that would reduce ocean acidification and remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
CO2, N and P are consumed during Photosythesis and Oxygen and food or fuel is produced. So it is the best solution to climate change, etc.
Get people to estimate their personal carbon, and give to reforestation or get drafted to plant trees and other work.
Computers register new dimensions of time and space. History is recalculated. Heat is lifted to the outer space.
OTEC(Offshore Thermal Energy Conversion) brings cold water to the sea surface as an existing technology which could cool some sea surfaces.
Ultraviolet light can break up CO2 into oxygen & carbon molecules. Have orbiting prisms amplify ultraviolet light.
Using large tubes sunk into the ocean 2000', with props set in them to draw the cold water up, and intermix it into the surface layer.
Ocean Assisted Carbon Capture & Reflection uses carbon capture boil-off to grow carbon-feeding Emiliania Huxley in ogliotrophic seas.
Use nukes to pulverize a massive amount of basalt. The exposed magnesium and calcium oxides will react with CO2 and sequester it.
Address both ocean acidification and future energy shortages with a properly implemented nuclear renaissance.
There are areas that are below sea level and these could be flooded by a canal or ....
Put attention to empty space. Expand it to the moon. Change the length of meter. Recalculate all measurements. Created waves will lift heat
About 50 Billion tons of Diatoms grow in lakes and oceans. Grow another 25 Billion Tons and consume all Anthropogenic Carbon Emissions.

Global water pipe network works as antena
Semi-submersible wind turbines pump water to thicken sea-ice floes <1km to remediate global warming, methane emission and polar habitat
This is a weird, futuristic, sci-fi, probably-won't-work idea. But what if it did work?
Possible solutions, not to stop global warming, but to reverse it and cool the planet down are discussed.
Proposes minor adjustments to the terraform of the Arctic ocean, its impact would have significant economic and environmental benefits
Buoyant flakes on impoverished seas provide organic, slow-release nutrients to biomass, cooling, C-biosequestration & de-acidification

Ice is water, water is life.
Testing nontoxic chemicals that stabilize methane ice, making it stable and resistant to elevated temperatures as the climate warms.
Half of sea-level rise comes from ice flow into the ocean, this flow can be slowed by removing lubricating water from bed of the ice.
Create a scale for each gas from 0 to 100 where 0 is solid form and from 0 to 100 is liquid form of polluting gas. Create waves of gas.
