Block the sun to cool the Earth?
A group of physical scientists has proposed a completely new, ambitious and daring plan for artificially cooling the Earth.
In theory, reflecting a portion of sunlight back into space before they can reach the surface of the Earth will cause immediate and clear results.
Using cosmic mirror system to reflect back sunlight to the universe will help reduce heat for Earth?
According to Daily Mail , if the method is applied, after only a few years, global temperature will be able to fall back to the heat of 250 years ago, before the industrial revolution took place. It was the steam revolution that caused the amount of carbon dioxide in the air to get higher and higher, preventing hot air from evaporating and the eventual consequence of the global warming.
However, no one knows what kind of side effects the mirror can use.
Addressing the ongoing Global Climate Change Conference in South Africa, representatives of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, the US Environmental Protection Fund and the Institute of Developing Countries (Italy) believe, The idea of solar radiation control has two possibilities 'or very useful, or will cause unintended consequences'.
The fact that big economies cannot negotiate on reduced greenhouse gas emissions has made the world worry. Chances are, we will not cut down enough gas for the time allowed, to keep the earth's climate from going wild, experts say.
Given that geothermal methods are not an alternative to carbon reduction, oceanographer John Shepherd of the University of Southampton (UK) commented.'Calling the world to act is always the plan A'.
The conference predicted that the world temperature could increase by 6.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, raising the sea level by high because the polar ice melted and the global climate completely changed in a more severe direction.
