“Geoengineering” – ways of mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, as opposed to reducing those emissions – was proposed by Gregory Benford as a planetary scale solution. Geoengineering options range from the simple to the complex. Benford also discussed the assets and liabilities of these global scale engineering projects.
