Lightning is an important factor in carbon loss from forests, under climate
change. It kills large trees and starts fires. Under climate change is
expected to increase.

What geoengineering could be used to neutralise this risk?

Kill storms
Cloud seeding, MCB, etc. could reduce storm energy, reducing the capacity
of lightning to form.

Directing lightning
There are various ways to disrupt lightning. Building aerial towers in
forests will direct strikes. Wire-grounded rockets are already used, and
drones or balloons could be used as an alternative. Potentially, artillery
or mass drivers could be used, but the acceleration may tend to rip the
wire off.
