Massive Manmade Sunshield: Scientists Develop a Global Warming Safety Net
The 1991 eruption of the Mt. Pinatubo volcano
caused a 1 degree Fahrenheit global cooling effect. The sulfur particles that
were discharged from the volcano reflected sunlight away from the Earth’s
surface. Scientists inspired by the natural cooling effect of sulfur have
proposed that an artificial
sulfur haze could
protect us from solar radiation in dire circumstances.
Scientists used computer models to test 11 different scenarios. They said the sulfur shield seems like it would work to protect the Earth in her last days, in an extreme case of global warming. But with a strong aversion to geo-engineering and a $400 million a year operating cost, the shield will likely remain a theory.
...to protect the earth in her last days?!?!...when the days come..i wonder if this manmade sunshield can still save us..?! Take action now. help save the earth!!!
