Sir Isaac Newton postulated that in a perfect world, every action would have an equal and opposite reaction. The same would appear to be true when it comes to some postulated solutions to Climate Change. The machines and processes meant to deal with carbon emissions, or more specifically, sequestering those carbon emissions, can emit gaseous carbon and other airborne pollutants on a scale that may not be negligible in comparison. It all brings to mind the old story about bringing in snakes to kill the rats, then importing the mongoose to kill the snakes, and so on. We must take time to understand and consider the implications of the solutions that we propose for global warming, or the solution may prove to be just as big a problem.
