It’s not that I turned into preaching people how to get along with coal (again), but the solution really sounds simple and, if it’s […]

He discovered a shocking truth: melting icebergs can trigger a reaction that naturally sinks the CO2 out of the atmosphere and create an equilibrium by feedback to the global warming and CO2 emissions.
