There you have free energy in an aboundance in the form of geysers. Maybe carbon suckers could be put there to clean the carbon out of air.
Seems reasonable, then again, it may be like trying to empty the oceans with a Shop-Vac?
There is some talk about what you said and other things in this TED talk
And there is an interesting concept that this woman says "Artificial forest" which would be much smaller to do the same job as what is rain-forest in Brazil doing.

Now she didn't say this, but everyone is criticizing Brazil for cutting down the rain-forest and, while I do think that it is a bad thing to cut it down, you can't blame them too much because they are using the same mentality as everyone else. While most of the people think that rain-forest is a great thing nobody wants it in their back yard. I mean it's like saying "Let's convert Missouri and Illinois and Indiana into a rain-forest." people would tell you "Fuck you! Are you nuts?" and that wouldn't even be the half of the size of the rain-forest.
So unless people change their living habits that need a lot of land that could be forested or some sort of Manhattan Project gets going of creating very simple and safe nuclear reactors the only thing we got going for us are these devices.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
