I've been wondering this for a while. I can't find anything on the internet concerned with reversing the damage we've done, only slowing it.
I believe that we're too late to stop devastating global warming. Rising carbon emissions on top of a growing population, widespread deforestation and possibly carbon-sink reversal (which pretty much spells the end, as far as I can see) means that soon the whole house of cards will collapse.
So, given that everything we have done (not much) and everything we're likely to do (not enough) to prevent catastprophy, I believe that civilisation as we know it will fall.
So, in the future, faced with living on an ever more inhospitable planet, is there anything the survivors could realistically do to reverse global warming?
You could remove carbon by encouraging reafforestation, storing it in oil (you can make lots of oils), geo-engineering or maybe something I havn't thought of.
What are the realistic solutions?
