(1,553 posts)I've already once tried to enlist the masses and found profound frustration. Best leave it to a salesman and spammer, possibly you might volunteer.
Contact the people with means who have a vested interest in the status quo, of continuing to produce gigatons of GHG's, and try to convince them by scrubbing the atmosphere, they can continue the status quo.
Otherwise, you might try to convince others to quit using fossil fuels long enough for you to find philanthropists to scrub the air, so humans can reorganize their societies with sustainable populous activities and priorities, within the balance of the resources and ecosystems of the planet.
If you run into problems of too many humans needing too much activity to sustain mutually beneficial commerce allowing sustenance, you might realize saving the status quo is really not in the interest of humankind. Perhaps the natural process of die off associated with overshoot in other species, best addresses the dilemmas the egotism of the human condition faces today.
After all, not everyone has to die, only the majority. What better use of the sciences is there in todays' condition, than Darwinian selection. You could even pitch it to the religious, as natural selection of intelligent design.
But everyone is different, so your desired approaches might find traction among the diversity of nationalities, cultures, religions, races, classes and desires of people that inhabit the world we live in, today. I wish you luck if you choose to take on the coordination and manifestation of this endeavor.
