*Hi Everybody,*
I was referred to joining this group with my layman's version of solution to
the subject crisis. The solutions that I am outlining below are a ' mixing
and matching ' of common knowledge, across a spectrum of existing and
commonly used construction products, robotic tools and the use of the space
shuttle. And I believe that my suggestion could be the quickest and
cheapest solution as of today. And I need everybody in the know to chip in
and refine my concepts, e.g., pointing out the problem areas, the weakest
links, etc. And also, when, how and where to go next, in the hope of
achieving this goal for the benefits of all mankind, ASAP .
_______________________________________________________________________________
Below is the outline of my concepts in the fast-track solutions in reversing
the global warming crisis. And I have to stress that these are only
concepts and have yet to be developed furthers.
*Main points of my Reversing Global Warming Project :
*
*1.* The biggest heat source on earth's atmosphere is from the Sun and
earth's inner heat pool. Contrary to other believes, carbon dioxide and
other green house gases would only affect the quality of our air, storing
humidity and altering the reflective/refractive proficiency of solar energy,
etc. But they themselves do not generate heat. And if we try to reverse
global warming along this route, it would take too long for this route to be
really practical.
*2.* However, with today's technology and resources, mankind can still
do nothing in suppressing the heat coming up under our feet ; therefore, the
quickest and surest route is to pull a sun shade/blind over earth.
*3.* With today's knowledge and computer power, and the country's
understandings of earth's atmosphere, positioning acres of solar
refractive/reflective thin films ( widely used in new buildings' window
panes, worldwide and are currently having large volume production in U.S.,
China and the European Union ) in geo-stationary orbit, or much lower
orbits if this visor is only need for a finite period of time, should not
present any major problems to the country. . Using mirrors will not be
practical in its handling and in its weight to surface area ratio.
*4.* The average radius of the earth is a known factor, add to it the
average height of the geo-stationary or much lower orbits for placing these
solar films is also a known factor. Thus, we can easily calculate the total
supposed surface area of earth and the hypothetical surface area of the
'enlarged' earth, basing on earth's average radius plus the average
height of these orbits for those solar films.
*5.* Space scientists and geologists should be able to determine the total
average 'enlarged' area of earth that are exposed to the Sun, couple that
with climatologists computation and putting them all together, they should
be able to tell us the existing heat energy input per hour from the Sun's
ray hitting earth, non-stop. Because there is always a side of earth facing
the Sun.
Having computed that solar energy intake per given time, then they
should be able to tell us the relevancy of these energy that is directly
affecting the warming and cooling of earth. And say, if the earth needs to
be cooled down by ' X ' degrees in temperature, consequently, we would need
to reduce by how many percent of the Sun's solar energy that might be
hitting earth.
*6.* The refractive/reflective proficiency of all types of solar thin
films are of known factors, couple that to the need of reducing the Sun's
solar energy in terms of computed quantity, they should be able to
categorically determine how many acres of solar films would be needed to
blanket earth from the geo-stationary or lower orbit. Again, we have more
known factors available.
*7.* Finally, deploying all these solar films would necessarily be needing
the help of the Space Shuttle and some miniature, remotely-controllable
robots/jets. These robots/jets, even though simple in designs and
construction, would be needed in drawing those solar thin films out of the
Space Shuttle's cargo bay and trailing those solar films into the
pre-designated orbit/area in space.
And after these solar films are ready for retraction, these solar
films and miniature robots/jets would serve one more purpose as space trash
bags for collecting all those space junks of known and convenient trajectory
along these solar films' earth-bound pathways.
Naturally, we would still need to conduct thorough studies on the
effect of how the extreme temperature-variations in outer space would affect
the integrity and performance of those solar films.
*8.* Care would need to be taken not to over-cool the earth. I have been
telling my friends that earth's global warming is a solvable problem. But
global cooling on earth is still beyond humans capability and resources
availability. The recently unusual cold spells all over the northern
hemisphere could be a perfect testimony to mankind's inability to
counteract global cooling.
*9.* Lastly, these solar films must not be positioned over
vegetation/green belts and oceans, as the green vegetation in those areas
are wholly responsible for the production of the oxygen that mankind
survives on. The best locations for positioning these solar thin films
would be over the North and South Poles ( this would also help to produce
more ice over the poles, if so deemed needed ! ) and over deserts ( this
would help to cool down the deserts, albeit a little bit ).
Looking forward to hearing from you guys, ASAP !
