Examples

"I read that plant life in tropical oceans away from coasts is limited, not because of lack of sunshine for photosynthesis, but due to lack of nutrients. Evidently there isn't very much vertical mixing in tropical oceans so there is no way nutrients can be brought up from deeper levels where they are abundant. Would it be possible to fertilize tropical oceans to get massive plant growth to absorb atmospheric CO₂ or put windmills on moored buoys in the tropical ocean that would pump deep water rich in nutrients to the surface for enhanced plant growth..."

"We have too much ozone in the atmosphere in major cities where the pressure is about 1000 mb and too little in the stratosphere where the pressure is about 100 mb, so why don't we run a pipe from street level in Los Angeles to the stratosphere and let the natural pressure difference drive ozone to the stratosphere..."
