Will hacking nature protect us from climate change?

Will hacking nature protect us from climate change?


Will changing the climate save us from climate change? Do you think hacking the climate will save us from climate change? Well, if we want to avoid global warming this might be the way to do it. This is how you do it. The text cites, “One way to keep global average temperatures from warming beyond a catastrophic 2-degree-celsius tipping point, according to some experts, is to suck massive amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere.” That may sound weird or confusing but it will help the climate from changing. What also happens is, the structures suck carbon out of the air and turns into fibers. The fibers then can be used for, cars, buildings, electronics, etc.
There are problems that need to be solved as well.


1. The process would be very expensive
2. If the CO2 gets sucked out of the air, where do we put it?


So there are two problems we run into. Finally, the text cites, “Some experts fear if the average global temperature rises above two degrees celsius, reversing global warming will be even more challenging.” To conclude, there are positives and negatives in this process.
See the website for more information.
