Ice cooling tanks could provide air conditioning
By Hicbd
Ice cooling tanks could be used to provide air conditioning to buildings. During off-peak electricity hours, energy can be used to make and fill the containers with ice. During the heat of the following day, the melting ice can chill the piping that feeds the air in the ventilation system and cool the building.

CO2 could sucked up and buried to reduce levels in the atmosphere
By Hicbd
CO2 could be buried, at least three thousand meters, or two miles below sea level into the seabed. At that depth, the extreme water pressure and low temperature could turn the carbon into a liquid denser than the surrounding water, forming a layer that would prevent it from rising back up into the ocean.
