Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet, and scientists and innovators around the world are working on revolutionary inventions to help solve this problem. Here are a few examples of these inventions:

1. Drones That Plant Trees: UK-based company BioCarbon is using drones to plant tree seeds throughout ravaged forests. They claim they can plant 1 billion trees per year. Mapping drones first determine the best planting strategy for a region, then planting drones hover six feet above the ground and fire seeds so fast that they get snugly implanted into the soil.

2. The Ocean Cleanup: The Ocean Cleanup is a 62-mile underwater, V-shaped barrier designed to trap plastic waste floating through the ocean, currently being trialled on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. According to its inventors, the device could remove half of the waste from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch within 10 years. The non-profit also aspires to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution as well as tackling river pollution before it reaches the ocean.

3. Massive, ‘Palm Tree’ Wind Farms: One group of engineers is trying to build wind turbines that are more than twice as large as the biggest turbines in use today. The 650-foot blades would function like palm tree fronds by adapting to and bending with the speed and direction of wind. Wind power is a largely underutilized resource, and a team of researchers found that a wind farm the size of Greenland in the Atlantic Ocean could generate enough energy to power all of humanity, essentially eliminating the need for fossil fuels.

These are just a few examples of the many revolutionary inventions that are being developed to help solve the problem of climate change. By harnessing technology and innovation, we can work towards a more sustainable future for our planet.
