Artificial Trees to Cut Carbon
August 31, 2009
Engineers say a forest of 100,000 “artificial trees” could be deployed within 10 to 20 years to help soak up the world’s carbon emissions.
The trees are among three geo-engineering ideas highlighted as practical in a new report.
The authors from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers say that without geo-engineering it will be impossible to avoid dangerous climate change.
The report includes a 100-year roadmap to “decarbonise” the global economy.

Artificial trees…? Can you go there and build an artificial fire and have an artificial camping trip.
Reducing CO2 emissions still seams simpler then building fake forests.
