Keeling Curve

Project Summary / Description:

See https://www.cool-it-earth.com/ for full description. What follows here is just how the project can achieve the major global warming goals.
In the enclosed document, the total negative emissions that are required to hold global warming to 1.6¬∞C (year 2100) in the face of current-policy positive emissions are calculated from recent work by Hansen et al. Current estimates of the capabilities and unit costs of well-known negative emissions technologies are identified from recent work by Smith et al.; these Plan A capabilities are insufficient to meet the requirement. The additional capabilities and lower unit costs of the relatively new OTECISATR (OTEC Inducing a Surface Atmospheric Temperature Reduction) approach (which if successfully implemented can potentially achieve a direct reduction in the Earth‚ Average Surface Atmospheric Temperature (SAT) of over 1¬∞C by itself) are added to the mix to get Plan B , which does have sufficient capability. A year-by-year resource deployment analysis is constructed to examine the cost of the implementation. The total cost of the required negative emissions using Plan B is on the order of only 16% of the total income that would be generated if a carbon fee at a rate schedule equal to that proposed by Citizens Climate Lobby were collected on the world‚ total projected positive emissions. This opens up the possibility of using a modest fraction of the revenue collected from carbon fees on positive emissions to totally cover the cost of the negative emission credits required to hold global warming to 1.6¬∞C.

Best Estimate of GHG Avoidance/Reduction of This Project (Tonnes CO2 Equivalent/Year):

Mission Statement:

Hold global warming to 1.6C maximum, in order to prevent catastrophic climate effects. 
Do this without any incurring any environmental "show-stoppers"
Do this in a safe, practical and controllable manner based on well-understood technology 
Do this without requiring a massive expenditure of government funds
