Extract Changing weather and climate – some examples 1877: An American researcher proposes changing the direction of the Kuroshio oceanic current through the Bering Strait. Purpose: to increase Arctic temperatures by around 15°C. 1929: A German physicist proposes installing giant mirrors on a space station to concentrate solar radiation on the Earth's surface and make the extreme north of the planet inhabitable. 1945: According to the Director of Unesco, exploding atomic bombs over the polar regions would lead to a rise in temperature of the Arctic Ocean and climate warming in Northern temperate zones. 1967-1972: During the Vietnam war, the American army inseminates clouds with silver iodide to extend the monsoon season. 1989: An American climatologist believes that might reflect the 2% of sunlight with a missile shield in Earth orbit. 2006: A Dutch chemist proposes injecting sulphur particles in the stratosphere to absorb sunlight and lower the temperature of the Earth. 2010: Researchers at the University of Geneva are able to create artificial rain thanks to a laser capable of condensing water droplets in the atmosphere. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
