    Another technology we could promote is carbon capture, e.g. by
    investigating seeding the oceans with iron to promote the growth of
    phytoplankton. (see for example
    <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18885083>)

It might be useful, but it might also backfire.  Things like this can
cause problems when done at a large scale.  Researching this is good
idea, but we need to plan a solution that will work.  We must not bet
civilization on getting results from long-term research within 15
years.
