CO2 solution

Dr Alfred Wong of the University of California has an interesting solution for eradicating excess CO2. He spends much time in Alaska manufacturing fireworks displays in the form of artificial auroras. The magnetic shield of the Earth opens to space at the poles and anything travelling along the magnetic field could be forced vertically upwards at the poles and ejected into space. Dr Wong's idea is to release electrons into the atmosphere which would pair up with the CO2 molecules and form CO2 ions which are negatively charged. Using radio waves to propel them at an altitude of 125km, these ions would then spiral along the magnetic shield of the Earth until they fly out of the holes into space.
