What To Do About Global Warming

There continues to be global concern regarding whether, and how much, the earth is heating and what is causing it. The dominant paradigm is that human activity is causing unacceptable and unprecedented heating of the atmosphere. This article looks at the contributions of carbon dioxide and the sun itself to global warming, simulates the resultant effects on global average temperatures, identifies and describes various mitigation methods including carbon dioxide sequestration and increasing Earth's solar reflection coefficient (albedo), and estimates the related costs of various alternatives.
