Instead of adding a base, remove acid.” However, even if the researchers’ proposals were to be implemented, it would only rid the atmosphere of about one-seventh of its carbon, according to the researchers. “This cannot solve the whole problem. It’s not like we can go out and start buying Hummers,” said study co-author and materials science professor Michael J. Aziz.

Those successes, however, almost always depend on the goodwill of faculty and administrators to student concerns—particularly in areas where the UC cannot make do solely through its own initiatives. On issues where compromise is not an option for University Hall, the UC is impotent.This outcome was foreseeable from the beginning. While the UC’s dramatic standoff with the administration made for some great political theater, it is hard to imagine...
