Reuters reports on a possible fix to the Earth’s climate situation through the use of underwater pipes that would reduce carbon dioxide levels, though scientists are questioning this new theory.
The idea has been proposed by James Lovelock, the man behind the Gaia hypothesis stating that Earth is a living entity. His logic is that if we place 100-meter long pipes in the sea, wave motion will pump up the water and push algae to the service, which will then absorb carbon dioxide and increase clouds that reflect sunlight.
Lovelock didn’t assign a cost to the project or a measurement of how much carbon dioxide would be reduced, nor has he developed a plan for how to implement the building and installing of the pipes. For more information on this issue, visit Earth 911’s Climate Change page.
