British geo-engineers are proposing the installation of thousands of artificial trees, devices that capture carbon dioxide, in the next 20 years to slow down global warming.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) said Thursday the synthetic trees that resemble giant fly swats convert home, car and factory emissions into collectible form that could be stored underground. The device is based on a carbon capturing technology developed by Klaus Lackner of Columbia University in New York.
