Some very good points.
One bit of info I could add concerns the following:
It's entirely true that hemp is much tougher than modern crops and that normal harvesting equipment just jams when trying to cut it. However, HempFlax encountered this problem way back in the Nineties and actually invested a huge amount of money in designing farm machines that could cut down hemp. They've also improved the post-harvest process of turning hemp-stalks into fibre. I'll see if I can dig up a few pics... |

Can I also say, the Chinese have factories containing huge machines specifically designed to process hemp.
The technology does exist, it's just Western politicians have no interest in helping to develop the hemp industry because it would adversely affect the rich business interests they're beholden to.
They're also afraid that their opponents will be able to blacken their names by claiming they support the growing of cannabis.

OK, I've been trying really hard not to post this, but I can't take it any more.
I feel the spannerish need to point out that where the challenge says "the greenhouse effect" it should say "global warming" or "climate change" or even "the enhanced/multiplied/increased greenhouse effect".
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which the surface of the Earth is warmed due to its atmosphere, and if it were "reversed" as the challenge states then the surface temperature of the Earth would plummet to a point so low that what your paper was made from would be the last of your concerns.
"Global warming" or "climate change" is the recently observed phenomenon where temperatures are rising globally as the greenhouse effect is multiplied by man's activties increasing the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Sorry, I know that's really anal, but can I claim my 100,000 on a technicality please, it'd come in pretty handy at the minute

the solution is not the problem...
the problem is that everyone can grow hemp
thats why it still isnt working
if your idea works, every person can copy the idea
to much competition, less profit..
profit is the bottleneck..

it s not my style to show people what is the problem with their fantastic ideas
Fantastic ideas work, if it doesnt, the idea has some problems in it.
The main problem in this bizniz is EARTH IS NOT A CONSUMER
create a budget for the earth, let scientists decide what earth would buy for her money
The problem has a solution, it will cost much more than 100.000,= to give that planetwide solution..

the only way to save the planet is to turn off the internet and leave it off and stop using HID lights forever. even if you find some new and improved way of generating electricity and stop generating co2 and other green house gasses you still have the problem of the heat waste generated by all electrical devices and the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. so its noble what you said but we can talk privately about the payment.
http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2012/04/economist-meets-physicist/ just as a side note but if you do decide to pay up i would like to split the reward 50/50 with the author of the paper. and just in case anyone in the future wanted to drink any fresh water they had better think about this, Biomass (crops grown for the purpose of fuel): 40,000 to 100,000 gallons per megawatt-hour.. and before you say solar desalination plant you still have the problem of heat waste and water vapor in the atmosphere. http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/fuel.html |

so i'm pretty sure that the embedded water costs and consequences of this will make it non-viable in a couple of hundred years too. so hunker down kids its looking like a rough ride for your descendants no matter what we do.

you should be breeding fast growing cacti that can live on dew point moisture alone so you can colonize or stabilize desert areas rapidly as the climate shifts as it will.
