This project is well beyond our capacity for cooperation and organization in the timescale necessary. IMO a much more likely sequestration strategy is to engineer plants to more efficiently fix CO₂. There has been work to do this by modifying the RuBisCO enzyme reaction. The NIH just dropped a 10% allocation of its budget to AIDS/HIV research that has been in effect since the 90's. Carbon sequestration research might be a good candidate for similar funding.
