11. Actually... I have a better idea.
Instead of, you know, using giant bombs that if successful would just create a whole mess of other problems why not try something more creative and natural?

We have the ability to genetically modify things. I think the best solution is to genetically modify plants, alge, and the like. Make it normal as it is but boost how much CO2 it intakes. If I remember correctly plants "feed" off CO2 and out put oxygen.

It would be natural and wouldn't cause any harm to anything. Do this in conjunction with lowering or at the very least leveling off our CO2 emissions to a stable level... and we have a workable solution to the problem.

Although, to be honest, we are beyond the point of no return. Just embrace Global Warming as inevitable and a new fact of life. To reverse the effects of Global Warming now would force us to do something too dramatic – something that will ultimately create with it its own set of unique problems, which may or may not be worse than the original.
