There are some pretty amusing 'comments' after the article. Of course, some of these people are just having fun with their posts, but some are serious. I've picked the most amusing out and copied them here, as part of my service to you.
Most of these ideas are ingenius and would be very practical and easy to implement... so long as we have an omnipotent government given control of every tiny part of our lives.
I think that the government should place solar panels on all government buildings. All hospitals which use large volumes of hot water, schools, colleges, council offices etc etc. If they used solar panels in large quantities the price would drop and become more affordable for the avereage householder who is effectively priced out of buying them at the moment. Also street lighting could be improved by using energy saving bulbs.

I suggest that new building regulations be introduced making builders put solar panels on all new buildings therefore decreasing the need for fuel and using grey water from the bath shower etc to flush the toilets. Also large windows on the south side of the building and smaller windows on the north side.

Brian's another genius. I'm sure he'd love to have a couple of these towers in his back yard.
my idea is to use a system like those used on a submarine to filter the air it would have to be at least 1 to 2 hunderd foot towers with a fan on top to draw the air down thru a filtation system and then release the filtred air back into the atmosferethanks brian

Communism is the answer! Because it has worked so well everywhere it's been tried already. I mean, Sandy Barone is definitely the type of genius I want making all the decisions for my life.l
I suggest that we eliminate cars, roads & all small buildings to eliminate greenhouse gases, & start building only massive 100-story live/work/play tower cities connected to maglev trains worldwide. There will be all things in every tower: microfactories, houses with backyard balconies, indoor playgrounds, stadium/s, atriums, high balcony rails & mesh to prevent falls, waterfalls, gardens, hydroponic gardens, automate all the work, make all things last forever as much as possible to eliminate ethe work. Teach all people of all nations to work part-time, starting at 20 hours a week. Eliminate 98% lumber, paper, all carpets, fireplaces, insurance, loans, renting, & more. Make most furniture built-in permanent (dressers, cabinets, etc). Find ways to eliminate all or most of the work. Eliminating cars & small buildings will save lives & save the earth, as will a "guaranteed income" RFID for every person on earth, which will end the wage & end world poverty. Yes I'm serious. Thank you for listening.

And here's Fran's solution:
Im a woman and I strongly believe that having women going to work has been a direct cause to global warming.
Let me explain. Most families need 2 cars. All the driving to get the kids to daycare, then to work, back to get the kids at daycare and then home.
We as women are the biggest consumers: clothes, shoes, purses, hair products, make up, skincare, body products, lunches, health products, and more etc. We wouldnt need all of those if we didnt work.
We wouldnt need 2 cars if we didnt work. We wouldnt need daycare.
Its not an easy solution as we all need as a society to review our way of doing everything.
Take away all the women in their working positions, fill them with men only, the volume of salaries will drop and prices to consumers should follow. Thus, families could survive on one salary only.
It wont cost a thing and it will solve the problem in the long run.
Its probably the greatest idea yet, but many women will want to stone me for saying so LOL.
Also its probably such a simple solution that nobody will pay attention to it.
Society as a whole thrives on making everything SO complicated when it could be So simple.

Keep this in mind when you read Richard T. Bearse's idea. He thinks his is so important that he posted it twice.
From a NASA educational site:
A satellite in geosynchronous orbit circles the earth once each day... For a satellite's orbit period to be one [...] day, it must be approximately 35,786 kilometers (19,323 nautical miles or 22,241 statute miles) above the earth's surface. That is a lot higher than the Shuttle ever goes (usually about 300 kilometers). <
I propose that a series of multifunction, manned platforms (total number to be determined by experts) be placed in geosyncronous orbit around the planet.
Each platform will have, at least two (4) or more "carbon filament" cables which are long enough to lower smaller platforms to various levels within the atmosphere. Each platform, in turn will have, at least two (2), carbon cables which can reach the surface to be used in conjunction with "Space Elevators" to transport supplies up and down the cables as needed.
After all the processing has been completed, extracted "Ozone" should be returned to the platforms, at the very least to help repair/replentish the planet's "Ozone Layer". The containers could be lowered & the gas released at the appropriate altitude.
Hybrid IS the right idea, but instead of petrolium, "hydrogen" should be used! It is EASY to produce, renewable, "NON-POLLUTING", and there ARE vericles out there running on nothing BUT hydrogen or natural gas already! Our technology has come so far as to be able to manufacture small processing plants that can be used by an average consumer to make hydrogen "at home". As well as running automobiles/trucks with hydrogen, people could heat their homes with it!
I know I am no expert, but to me, these suggestions seem to be the most viable solutions for a NUMBER of problems.
Well, even if you are no expert, you've certainly hit upon all the solutions we need.. and you never had to leave your Barco-Lounder and Cheezy Poofs, did you? Another world-class genius without all the details of spending years in school studying science!
