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

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.
