I’ve found this funny compilation on 5 crazy things to save the planet. My favourite is flooding the Death Valley (which is below sea level!) in order to prevent sea levels to rise at the coast. The article puts the most commonly known Solar Radiation Management (SRM) tactics – namely to make more clouds over the oceans, to have solar-shields in space and to wrap up Greenland – in one line with the Death Valley idea and a dam in the Street of Gibraltar (yes, some people really proposed this!). Interestingly, the author did not name aerosol dispersal, the #1 geo-engineering tactic nowadays, as a crazy idea. Why?
