DARPA needs to be unleashed on global warming. Their has to be a means of "scooping" CO2 and other green house gases out of the sky with autonmous solar powered drones and breaking them down, for instance breakdown CO2 to Carbon and Oxygen.
The idea may sound absurd but I believe it threads the needle of the GOPs love for defense spending and opposition to negative economic impacts, with everyone elses desire to save the planet.
