Thread for batshit insane but theoretically workable ideas for solutions to global warming
My own: >Invent a solar powered light panel: solar panel on one side, room light on the other, programmable maximum brightness >Calculate the greatest area of these panels we can build with all the nonvital resources on earth >Build that many >Connect them in a spherical network covering the entire planet at the altitude where the ozone used to be >Program them to filter out as much of the energy they absorb as the ozone would if it were still intact >Energy filtered out drifts back into space as light and/or heat

(continued) >Leave a section open for space travel >Instead of discarding the excess energy, take it in and use it to power stuff >Use the stuff thus powered to inexpensively build rockets >Load the rockets up with any unusable waste or excess carbon emissions >Launch as far into space as possible >Replace lost planetary mass by also using the excess solar energy to power ordinarily unreasonably expensive processes capable of synthesizing clean water

Also known as a window with blinds you fucking retard
Some sort of carbon nanotube vent that sucks GHG's out into space, while simultaneously releasing man-made 'good' gases into the atmosphere

>Thread for batshit insane but theoretically workable ideas for solutions to global warming Solar thermochemical power storage. Basically, you use concentrated sunlight to decompose ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen while the sun shines, and then during the night you recombine them and use the heat produced to spin up a turbine to make electricity.
