Did you know climate change is now so serious that scientists are considering putting a big sunshade in place to keep us cool? Or boosting the ocean's plankton populations to absorb carbon dioxide? The world is being transformed by global warming faster than anyone anticipated. Frozen tundra is melting, giant icecaps are breaking, sea levels are rising and weather patterns are changing. But it's not all doom and gloom; some of the world's most eminent scientists are on the case, in the face of imminent catastrophe. Other plans include shielding the earth from the sun with extra clouds, storing 'artificial trees' underground and using heavy artillery to fire sulphur into the stratosphere. We need to save the planet, fast. And human ingenuity may rise to the challenge.
