Global Warming Solution - If we cannot decrease
the production of greenhouse gasses fast enough, there may be
abnother solution. Scientific American reported on a way to use
the oceans to clean the air. Kurt House and other researchers
at Harvard University propose treatment plants which bring in
water from the ocean and pass an electric current through it
to make it more alkaline, which enhances its ability to absorb
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It's estimated that 100 of
these plants could reduce global CO2 emissions by 15%, and so
far the only apparent risk is to marine life in the specific
areas where the treated water is returned to the sea.
