For the last ten thousand years humans have been disturbing soils and releasing excess amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. Over the last century the rate of CO2 release has grown exponentially. This presentation will briefly review the causes underlying the destabilization of the global climate and investigate ecological and technological methods for reversing the trend.  Then it will examine methods whereby large-scale carbon capture might take place through soil formation on a global scale. Finally a scheme for financing such a massive project will be proposed.
