... scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations body. In the meantime the natural absorption of CO2 by the world's forests and oceans has decreased significantly. Most of the scientists we polled agreed that the failure to curb emissions of CO2, which are increasing at a rate of 1 per cent a year, has created the need for an emergency "plan B" involving research, development and possible implementation of a worldwide geoengineering strategy.

Climate Scientists Turning to Technology For Global Warming Solution
Politics Daily —
... . Meanwhile, there's growing evidence that the real debate over climate change isn't whether or not it's happening, but rather whether or not it can be stopped. A poll of 80 international specialists in climate science taken by The Independent reveals that over half of them believe that it's too late to "save the earth" by curbing emissions and that we must now develop a technological solution to global warming. ...

... less optimistic. He believes that a plan B is urgently needed. ‘I never thought that the Kyoto agreement would lead to any useful cut back in greenhouse gas emissions so I am neither more nor less optimistic now about prospect of curbing CO2 compared to 10 years ago. I am, however, less optimistic now about the ability of the Earth’s climate system to cope with expected increases in atmospheric carbon levels compared with 10 years ago,’ he told The Independent. ‘I strongly agree that we now need a ‘plan B’ where a geoengineering strategy is drawn up in parallel with other ...

... Pumping water vapor into the air on a gigantic scale, dumping iron filings into the oceans, stirring up the sea bottoms with large tubes, sending giant mirrors into orbit. These are some of the absurd ideas that Steven Connor and Chris Green of the UK Independent reported on with completely straight faces as ways to combat Global Warming by artificially creating Global Cooling: ...

... Climate Scientists: It’s Time for ‘Plan B’ An emergency “Plan B” using the latest technology is needed to save the world from dangerous climate change, according to a poll of leading scientists carried out by The Independent. The collective international failure to curb the growing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has meant that an alternative to merely curbing emissions may become necessary. The plan would involve highly controversial proposals to lower global temperatures artificially ...
