What are the Jellyfish?

They are these large Zepplin-like heavy-lifting semi-Buckyball lighter-than-air, stronger-than-steel, honey-combed aero-gel superstructure, cargo-blimps.

They are white like the clouds and shaped like half a marshmallow, smooth spherically curved top, like the cap of a tooth, holding within it the lighter than air, non-flammable, buoyancy gas sacks. This cargo-blimp lifting structure sits like an open umbrella on the long cylindrical carbon sieves that hang beneath this autonomous buoy. They are covered with solar cells that power the carbon sieves.

Every so often, the blimps "poop" out a carbon brick- or pelt the landscape with a black hail of carbon pelts. Huge packs of them float through our atmosphere like jelly fish in the deep ocean. But these are bio-engineered with nano-technology to "harvest" carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere at the highest efficiency possible. They are attracted in packs to locations of intense carbon emissions, their food; they hover above cities and forest fires, volcanoes and cattle feed lots, factory smoke stacks and oil refineries. They vary from the size of a Hot Air Balloon to the size of a Football Stadium.....

They are actually free-floating autonomous self-replicating carbon extractors that look something like a cross between the giant sub-orbital Long Duration Balloon (here), but made out a more rigid superstructure from carbon aero-gels (here) and (here). So the thing would have a smokey bluish translucence, (like jellyfish), but would also have a patterned sequined exterior surface from the mini photo-voltaic solar cell panels used to power the craft.

The thing is essentially a sophisticated robot, mimicked after real-world organic adaptations, but designed to extract carbon from the atmosphere. The quantity of them in the sky is comparable to the quantity of combustion engines on earth. When storms approach they automatically inflate and rise above bad weather, then descend and continue their carbon extraction activities from the atmosphere.

This idea came to me after view an image of the earth infected with a carbon producing virus:
