Massive permafrost thaw documented in Canada, portending huge carbon release
Geo-engineering projects could not come too soon.<p>Because of how grand they are in scale, they don't seem to get much attention from the mainstream scientific community, but it seems feasible technologically (albeit expensive) to put forth major projects to reflect sunlight over deserts and capture significant amounts of carbon from power plants and oceans, amongst numerous other creative approaches.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_engineering#Proposed_strategies" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_engineering#Proposed_s...</a><p>There was an article on HN recently about a new material that is excellent for cooling due to radiating energy primarily in the long-wavelength infrared spectrum. Just another option, just a matter of mass production and adoption.
