Well there is the disposable earth policy. I'll leave it to you to figure out what it is but we are going to need to find another habitable planet before we can actually implement it.

An excellent question. For some time now I've been researching the potential role of cyanobacteria as a climate moderating agent. It's really a case of taking a page from the planet's history book and replicating natural events.
When the planet was in it's infancy, about a billion years old, it's atmosphere was very different from that which it is now. It was more like the atmosphere of Venus in that it consisted of 98% carbon dioxide and this created what could be termed a 'super greenhouse effect'.
Then something quite remarkable happened, for which we can thank out very existence - bacteria began to form and for the first time the planet had something that could utilise carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
The next billion years saw great changes on the planet, oxygen began to replace carbon dioxide and free oxygen began to accumulate in the atmosphere. These changes checked the runaway greenhouse effect and the planet cooled down. What we had was basically the first photosynthesis and today we see this same process occuring throughout the plant kingdom.
Cyanobacteria is probably best known as blue-green algae and it's possible to create oceanic environments that are conducive to it's existence. A similar proposal again mimics nature by using phytoplankton, tiny marine plants that photosynthesise.
These schemes, possibly in conjunction with others, have the ability to remove carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere and to potentially reduce levels to their natural position.

Well, you know how recently some scientists bred transparent frogs?
How about we breed an almost extinct animal to eat our trash! It's not that hard to imagine a plastic eating panda.! ah the cuteness..
Or breed a fungi which uses carbon monoxide for their photosynthesis and get oxygen! ( a little like normal plants, but the only difference is that normal plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis)

i seriously contemplate this every day since taking my environmental science class at csus. hav no solutions yet, but the fact that one third of the world is starving kills me. i dont feel right about all the things i hav at this point. its refreshing knowing that other ppl contemplate this stuff too.

Tell everyone global warming isn't real, then you would get the truth out.

call the aliens and ask for advice
maybe they breath carbon monoxide and exhale oxygen

JUST SAY NO!
no to all the lies and perversion science has become.
