Climate Change Mitigation

Climate Change Mitigation
Research Cost: 100000
Summary
Following the move to clean energy, we develop technologies to cool the Earth and reduce the CO2 in its atmosphere, and thus stabilize its climate.
Description
Thanks to clean fusion energy, carbon-based nanomaterials, and the development of alternative, genetically-designed food sources, the damage we wreak upon our home daily may be drastically reduced. But reversing the changes - the shrinking ice shelves, the floods and the droughts, the unstable inland weather - caused by decades of fossil fuel usage and industrial farming will require further action. Our climate scientists have devised a raft of measures to ameliorate the issues and to gradually bring down Earth's temperature. These include so-called "space clouds:" releasing floods of one-micron particles into the stratosphere, where they will reflect a portion of sunlight, and thus enable the planet to cool. Additionally, our research into biotech and cybernetics now enables the creation of artificial trees, which will scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere far more efficiently than can our diminished rainforests. These are the culmination of our prior breakthroughs in almost every field, and they will ensure that our world is fit for human life for centuries, even millennia to come.

"He who controls the water controls the world. That's where we're headed now. But hell, even I know that a dying world isn't really one worth controlling." Chairman Soren Van Wyk, The Initiative From his Wall Street Journal op-ed, "Renewables: From Bogeyman To Golden Goose."
