3 September, 2009:In case the world can't contain its carbon emissions, among
geoengineering fixes Dan Whaley, founder and chief executive of
California-based Climos, hopes tiny plankton that live on the
ocean surface can be used to absorb CO2 as they grow.
"These are not silver bullet solutions, but things that

These geoengineering projects, the research into this, is an
exercise to reduce future risk."
