I just watched the not-too-bad Project Earth episode on the feasibility of covering the melting part (is this called the ABLATION zone?) of Greenland glaciers with special plastic. They concluded that it does work, it will probably help, but too much carbon would be emitted making the acres of plastic and transporting it to Greenland.
Is the consensus that covering glaciers, especially in the Himalayas, is a dead-end technology? Thanks for any tips. P.S. Its a pity one could not spray from an aircraft some miracle but benign nano-chemical that could reduce (not eliminate) glacial melt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
