Geo-engineering: what's up?
There’s a new utility-company blog that’s keeping an interested eye on geo-engineering proposals. These are mega-scale plans to combat global warming.

Seems there are numerous creatures in the sea that eat that extra algae, not letting it sink to the bottom with captured carbon. Thus nature recycles her carbon.
