Wallace S. Broecker and Robert Kunzig - Fixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat--and How to Counter It

Ecological scientists are no longer warning us about the possible future effects of global warming. They are now analyzing how to limit the worst of the imminent damage, and to assess exactly how bad it might get. Wallace Broecker and Robert Kunzig join the chorus of angry environmentalists presenting compelling evidence that it is too late to prevent catastrophic ecological events from happening. Even if humanity magically stops reproducing and immediately ceases all emissions of carbon dioxide, there will still be devastating future effects resulting from our overpopulation and ecological heedlessness. Broecker and Kunzig do present an intriguing plan for limiting future destruction, which involves collecting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and burying it, where it will be naturally eliminated.
