Help stop co2 burning

Each day, sunshine on Earth warms the surface. That heat should get back into space as an infra-red glow.

Carbon dioxide is called a greenhouse gas because it easily absorbs infra-red and traps some of that heat in the atmosphere. The more absorption of heat, the more the atmosphere warms and the more heat is spread back to the ground and ocean. The effects are called global warming.

Most of the energy we harvest today comes from burning valuable non-renewable fossil fuels. Most carbon dioxide is made by that burning.

The Mirror Swarm brings energy to replace what we now make by burning. If we stop burning to release energy then the extra carbon dioxide already in the air will recycle. Earth's daily added surface heat will then get all the way back into space. Global warming effects can be very quickly reversed.

This needs doing before a huge release of methane from tundra and coastal seabed happens. Methane is a longer-lasting and stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. It can't be put back under the tundra if it gets out.That much methane would turn global warming into a crisis. John (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

The BBC talks about the problem: the permanently frozen regions of Siberia, Canada, Greenland and Alaska store about double the amount of carbon that's up in the atmosphere. But as the Earth warms, and the soils starts to get hotter, the microbes become active and the greenhouse gases drift upwards once again. Scientists worry that climate change brings a real threat of a vicious cycle, where warming releases the gases from the frozen ground, and this in turn makes the heating much worse.
