A Hopeful New Vision of a Climate Where Humans Can Thrive In Climate Restoration, MIT-trained engineer Peter Fiekowsky and award-winning science writer Carole Douglis offer "something rare: a dead-serious, no-illusions look at climate change that doesn't stir despair" (Publishers Weekly BookLife). “Effective and galvanizing.”—Kirkus Reviews Inside the Four Promising Technologies That May Hold the Key to a Healthy Future for Humankind Synthetic Limestone Scientists have learned to mimic the natural process by which limestone already stores the bulk of Earth's carbon. Now engineers are using the same process to create high-demand building materials while removing vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Seaweed Permaculture Fast-growing kelp and other seaweeds provide food and shelter for marine life. It can also be harvested for commercial use in products ranging from puddings to shampoo. Ocean forests of seaweed could reduce excess CO2 in the atmosphere by 20 percent. Ocean Iron Fertilization Iron is an essential nutrient for the phytoplankton that occupy the bottom layer of the aquatic foodchain. Fertilization of ocean pastures with tiny amounts of iron dust can make the seas bloom and sequester huge amounts of atmospheric carbon. Enhanced Methane Oxidation Atmospheric methane causes even more climate warming than CO2. But increasing the level of naturally-occuring iron chlorine over the ocean can rapidly oxidize methane, drastically reducing its climatic impact.
