Five Ways To Save The World Five scientists and engineers are proposing five radical ideas on a major scale that could save the world from climate change disaster. Climate change is being felt the world over and, if global warming continues to increase, the effects could be catastrophic. Incredible as some of these ideas may seem, the scientists proposing them are not cranks - they are among the most eminent scientists and engineers in the world. Some ideas involve reducing the power of the sun and cooling the planet. Professor Roger Angel from Arizona - the designer of the world's largest telescope - is proposing to put a giant glass sunshade in space which will deflect a small percentage of the sun's rays back into space. Dutch Professor Paul Crutzen won the Nobel Prize for chemistry when he discovered the causes of the hole in the ozone layer. His plan is to fire hundreds of rockets loaded with tons of sulphur into the stratosphere, creating a vast, but very thin, sunscreen of sulphur around the Earth. British atmospheric physicist Professor John Latham and engineer Stephen Salter have designed a fleet of remote-controlled yachts. These would pump fine particles of sea water into the clouds, increasing the thickness of the clouds and reflecting the sun's rays. Others want to tackle the problem of excess carbon dioxide - the cause of global warming. Sydney engineer Professor Ian Jones proposes to feed plankton - tiny plants and animals that live in the sea - with tons of fertiliser. This will make the plankton grow and absorb carbon dioxide from the air. New York-based Professor Klaus Lackner has designed a machine to capture carbon dioxide. His plan is to locate them across the globe where they would suck in carbon dioxide, turning it into a powder to be buried deep under the ocean in disused oil or gas fields.
