This proposal would be an interesting addition to the recently discussed suggestion of dumping CO2 to space through the well of a space lift \cite{OB2023}. We also explore the possibility of producing propellants in GEO out of greenhouse gases expelled from the space lift. Finally, we discuss the much less effective idea of filtering the most prominent infrared bands of the incoming solar radiation using the CO2 wrapped in transparent vessels. *Source: arXiv* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
