Usage Deterrence Contamination of Oil Fields & More

Problems that are addressed include (i) the extent or rate of burning or use of fossil fuels (or its distribution across the time-line), (ii) the drift and subsequent melting of huge ice shells from polar regions towards the equatorial regions, (iii) the albedo of earth in equatorial regions at garbage patches (which plastics-consuming microbes could later also easily be made to naturally converge to), (iv) the finite maritime carbon buffer capacity, (v) the polluting exhausts of volcanos.

The scale differs between the approaches. Some (like reforestation via mass-seeding e.g. of burned down former forests using airplanes, plastic pollution) are global, while others consist of distributed regions (like flooding volcanos, spread of gene-modified sea-grass, or the contamination of oil fields that only exist in specific regions) or are regional (like carbon extraction from the dead sea or keeping huge ice shells at the antarctic). Depending on which solution ideas were to be employed, the number of affected people varies greatly, but it can affect up to around everyone that uses fossil fuels.

"What percentage of humans use fossil fuels? Fossil fuels—including coal, oil, and natural gas—have been powering economies for over 150 years, and currently supply about 80 percent of the world's energy.22 Jul 2021"

"Humans currently produce more than 350 million metric tons

of plastic waste per year. Without changes to current policies, global
plastic waste generation is projected to triple by 2060, to a staggering
one billion metric tons.10 Jan 2024"

"The estimated size of the garbage patch is 1,600,000 square kilometres (620,000 sq mi) (about twice the size of Texas or three times the size of France). Such estimates, however, are conjectural given the complexities of sampling and the need to assess findings against other areas."

"Although the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the most notable of the floating ocean trash vortexes, there are actually five “gyres” of marine debris floating on the surface of Earth's oceans.8 Jun 2023"

"How many undersea volcanoes are there? The total number of submarine volcanoes is estimated to be over one million (most are now extinct) of which some 75,000 rise more than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) above the seabed."

"There are more than 1500 active volcanoes on Earth. Around 50–70 volcanoes erupt every year. There are 82 volcanoes in Europe and 32 of these are in Iceland, one of the UK's closest 'volcanic neighbours'."

"How long and wide is the Dead Sea? Not really a sea but a large salt water lake, the Dead Sea is 47 miles (76 km ) long and up to 11 miles (18 km) wide."

"Fewer than 1,000 geysers exist worldwide, and about half of these are in Yellowstone National Park."

Reduction or prevention of access to or continued use of fossil fuel (sources) via deterrence e.g. using contamination means, steering plastics production worldwide towards use of higher albedo colours or deliberate plastics production increase or deposition in garbage patches, application of aerial carbon filtration methods to submerged regions with higher carbon concentration (e.g. by repeated carbon extraction (& natural refreshing) from the dead sea, or from rivers or by dumping carbon-binding substances into the Mariana Trench), flying airplanes full of seeds across (e.g. recently burned down and fertile) forest regions to spread them there, spread of gene-modified sea-grass across otherwise plant-less regions, pre-emptively anchoring ice shells with cracks at risk of breaking away to their associated main body of ice or stitching them together with steel cables, and the flooding of active volcanoes to keep their exhausted carbon away from the atmosphere.

The solution ideas (and more) are summarized (quite informally, however) in here:

In most cases, the solutions shouldn't impact people negatively (and could provide job opportunities or also innovation in technologies), though too much fossil-fuel-use-reduction likely would severely impact people negatively, however pre-emptively preventing access to by current trends already redundant and super-fluous made fossil fuel sources such as oil fields may (allow future avoidance of countries' conflicts over them and may) not do have as significant negative effects on people and could move people's uncertainties with regard to questions about pivoting towards renewable energy usage out of the way, in order to speed such trends up when less (of the dirty) options are available anymore. Such fossil fuel sources may still become usable later again, too. In the case of mass-reforestation, I guess it may make people living nearby burned down forests happy if they could see and that plants were to be blooming in masses again (for if that were to work out efficiently), similar to the effect that the ending of the anime Princess Mononoke has on viewers. Regarding intentional mass-production of plastics to create the biggest albedo-difference between dark ocean water and white plastics, it may disgust people or find strong opposition, though the pollution  economy is humanity's strong side.

I'm not well-positioned to deliver any of these solutions personally, besides providing foundational conceptional ideas for them to others.

I selected the option 'Concept', because there's just a text-file of all the gathered conceptual ideas so far.

Because I think I have useful and rather unique ideas that could help and otherwise be missed out on by others. I guess outreach barriers would be hoped for to be overcome, to increase awareness about these solution ideas.

The radicality or pre-emptive, forwards-looking action involved in of some of them should be rather new and unusual and probably stand out the most. However, for some of the solutions, they are essentially creative variations of existing climate solution approaches. One of the solution could rather significantly change the market towards focus on renewable energies (by making moral hazard alternatives less available).

The details depend on the solution but generally should be rather straight forward to deduce due to similarity with existing applied approaches.

The impact goals are to dampen the atmospheric greenhouse gas emission build-up long-term and to slow down the overall heating up of the planet, which may otherwise lead to biodiversity loss and increased wildfire risks and also lead to increased earthquake and volcano activities if the antarctic melts to unprecedentedly small weight with which to rest on the south pole region which may affect tectonic plate activities especially around February when its extent is the smallest.

I guess it's so-called psycho-technologies, or creative problem solving methods, assisted by consumption of science communication contents for inspiration. However, for the individual solution approaches, it should be known and working technologies, though calculations and estimates for feasibility and scale of effect and side-effects would remain to be done.

A few days to about 1 or 2 weeks of towards climate solution approaches directed theory-crafting.

I suppose it's about as diverse and inclusive as it could be for its current size of 1.

It doesn't exist.

I have no such plan (with respect to these solution approaches), and hence I cannot provide evidence for its success so far.
