May I suggest the cooling methods listed in this draft HPAC cooling document (that will be discussed in a Zoom meeting tomorrow contact me if interested) as alternatives:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TowThwi6j6cX3iLGBRrj22D30cYhKa_9/edit Also per this document, I think what got us into this mess is "hunter-gatherer" industrial civilization, and I would tend to focus more on the need for more energy to lift up developing countries, and economic equity and transfers of funding and technology from rich to poor as necessary for a rapid and at scale long run solution. In the short-term (as I think all on this list agree) we need to cool!
