Geoengineering the Climate: Extreme global warming solutions

LAND MANAGEMENT
Plant trees and plants to absorb more CO2. Reduce tropical deforestation.

BIOCHAR
Convert waste vegetation -leaves, straw etc. - into charcoal and bury.

B.E.C.S.
Burn biomass for fuel. Capture the resulting CO2 & bury it.

CARBON CAPTURE
Separate out industrial CO2 and bury underground in old oil wells.

PAINT IT WHITE
Paint roofs, roads & pavements white to reflect lots of sunlight.

CARBON SCRUBBERS
Use giant towers and artificial trees to scrub pure CO2 from the air.

EMISSION REDUCTION
The world limits CO2 emissions to below crisis thresholds starting NOW!

ENHANCED LAND WEATHERING
Add minerals to soil to speed up natural CO2 absorption by rocks.

CLOUD WHITENING
Air-spray particles of sea salt to make clouds whiter & reflect more sunlight.

OCEAN FERTILISATION
Add iron filings to surface water and boost growth of CO2-absorbing algae.

ENHANCED OCEAN WEATHERING
Stir megatonnes of limestone into oceans so more CO2 absorbed by less acidic water.

SPACE REFLECTORS
Launch thousands of orbiting mirrors to divert sunlight away from the surface.

DESERT REFLECTORS
Cover vast areas of unused land with foil No, seriously.

ALL-OUT NUCLEAR WAR
Fill the atmosphere with terratonnes of radioactive soot and drop temperatures by 10°C.

Find cities with similar climate

This map has been created using The Global environmental stratification. The Global environmental stratification (GEnS), based on statistical clustering of bioclimate data (WorldClim). GEnS, consists of 125 strata, which have been aggregated into 18 global environmental zones (labeled A to R) based on the dendrogram.

The Appalachian Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, and the Atlas Mounts in Africa were the same mountain range

The Central Pangean Mountains was a prominent mountain ridge in the central part of the supercontinent Pangaea that extends across the continent from northeast to southwest through the Carboniferous , Permian Triassic periods. The mountains were formed due to a collision within the supercontinents Gondwana and Laurussia during the creation of Pangaea. It was comparable to the present Himalayas at its highest peak during the start of the Permian period. It isn’t easy to assume now that once upon a time that the Scottish Highlands, The Appalachian Mountains, the Ouachita Mountain Range, and the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa are the same mountains , once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

Moose population in North America

The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range. In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale. In 2014-2015, the North American moose population was measured at around one million animals. The most abundant moose population (about 700,000) lives in Canada. About 300 000 moose remains in nineteen U.S. states Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The largest moose specimens are found in Alaska 200 thousand moose. Below the map shows the size of US states scaled by the moose population. Via www.vividmaps.com
