Global Warming: Giant shields to the rescue
Pravda, via www.fark.comEFL Scientists suggest building a massive shield in space, which would absorb excess amount of solar rays, stabilize climate and save the entire human kind of the most dangerous threat such as Global Warming. Iâm wondering if Christopher Lambert will be starring in this one as well... According to the scientistsâ plans, hundreds and thousands of metal "rubbish" will be dumped in the upper atmospheric layers. In addition, billions of tiny metal balls will serve as a special barrier preventing rays of the Earthâs closest star from reaching our planet, informs The Observer. Just what we need, more space junk. Another idea: Millions of metal-covered air balloons under a great pressure filled with helium will be launched to the stratosphere (35,000 feet). They will be able to stay there for five years. Afterward, they will simply fall and will be in need of replacement. These people really have it in for NORAD, donât they? Scientists from the National laboratory of Lawrence Livermore in California who suggested the scheme, claim that such temperature decrease will also benefit crops, since damaging solar rays will be liquidated. Ah, THEREâS the Kalifornia connection! I donât know if this article was any less kooky before the Russian translators got ahold of it... Posted by: therien 2004-01-13 |
