Can we control the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Author

  • Dyson, Freeman J.

Abstract

The carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels can theoretically be controlled by growing trees. Quantitative estimates are made of the size and cost of a plant-growing program designed to halt the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
