London 2100: using mitigation, adaptation and geo-engineering

An image of London from 2020 to 2110 in which by 2050:
- Widespread adoption of renewable energy sources will have happened with wind, solar and wave technologies all being used to power our buildings
- River and sea defences will have been improved to protect against rising sea levels
- Artificial trees (which look like large fly-swatters beside the wind turbines) will be used to absorb carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere (like a tree but 10,000 times more efficiently) and bury the gas in depleted oil wells in the North Sea.
