When it comes to fighting climate change, many strategies require relatively small actions from large numbers of people. Eating less meat or switching to electric vehicles for example. But given the sheer scale of the challenge, there are those who insist we need to think bigger and bolder too.
They are talking about audacious infrastructure projects that would cost billions and carry high risks, but could, if they work out, have a truly transformative impact on our stuttering efforts to get carbon emissions down to zero – and even mitigate the worst effects of current warming
They include plans to build a huge solar power station in space, build a set of energy islands and suck megatonnes of carbon dioxide from the air each year.
Comment below which one of these bold ideas is your favourite.
