A cloud of waste gas billows out of chimney stacks at a factory in the eastern German village of Heiligengrabe in this June 2, 2004 file photo. Climate change could be slowed by burying greenhouse gases blamed for global warming deep below the ocean floor under thick, cold sediment that would trap it for thousands of years, said a team of Harvard-led scientists.

It would also likely raise the cost of generating electricity from a coal-fired power plant by at least 50 percent

Well, that could be construed as a downside ...

Can we bury our forest fires and volcanoes under the sea bed too? Never seen any of these reports that take these into account.

This is the biggest bunch of bull, on so many points that it's impossible to respond. I'm not a scientist, but sometimes the BS beeber just goes off.

I am no scientist thats for sure, but can i just ask what type of machine they will use to separate the Carbon Dioxide from the air an how will they put it under the ocean.? What will power this operation? I can see it now a big plant running night and day and large tubes funneling this gas into the ocean floor. Its sounds like a pipe dream to me. The only thing I would bet on is that someone will get rich off it.

They'd better hurry up and get started so they can claim credit before the next (inevitable) cooling cycle begins.

The article prominently references a UN report -- enough said.

pffft! I've lived through more summers than I care to admit. Some of them hotter were than this, some not as hot. But they were all hot. I just can't remember folks fretting so over it.

Good idea, bury water vapor in the ocean.

Environmental group Greenpeace said it was skeptical of the benefits and urged the development of less expensive and swifter solutions to global warming such as renewable energy and conservation.

It must be good if Greenpeace doesn't like it.
