It seems to me, that one of the few solutions that really makes sense, besides stopping the release of sequestered solar heat (coal, oil and such) would be in the conversion of current solar energy to a non-heating energy... Another would be to cover the planet in life forms that are able to convert solar energy to sequestered energy. Trees come to mind... But rather than releasing the heat once the tree is grown, let it grow more!
Nature has been trapping solar energy for millions of years here on this planet, and leaving deposits of this energy about wherever the ancient forests and oceans once were. By releasing this energy, and adding it to the energy that the sun is still pouring out onto our planet, I can't see how anyone can imagine that our planet will not overheat. The geothermal heat that is produced in the core of the planet will eventually have no place to go, and I can imagine how one day, the earth's solid crust will eventually become thinner, resulting in tectonic activity not seen since the planet was much younger. doug swanson Terry Dyck wrote: > The science sounds similar to Chem Trails, an inert alluminum partical > spread by aircraft to create a cloud formation in our skies.
