I don't understand how people can propose these ridiculous schemes with a straight face. I suspect it is because "climate change" is a good source of grant money right now, so you have to get creative to come up with a new approach.
On the other hand, if you're in climate science, what are you supposed to do? The science is pretty clear right now, what we lack is political action.
Yet when climate scientists stop using the carefully-weighed language of academia to demand actual, effective and efficient action now, they get scolded as activists, emotional, non-objective, etc...
This is just to say I can understand that people just want to contribute within their realm of possibilities.
