Our hope for the future involves removing that legacy, returning Earth’s atmosphere to the climate we experienced during the agricultural revolution. Can it be done? Yes. It’s called “climate restoration.” Companies worldwide are involved in gearing up methods that together must be environmentally sound, permanently removing CO2 for at least 100 years, financially viable and together capable of removing 25 gigatons of CO2 per year. That goal would get us to a restored climate by 2050. It will take government, financing, research and action, just like JFK’s “moonshot” did in the 1960s. Let’s get it done! ~ Peter Garrett, Winslow
