NASA has proposed a grim plan to combat global warming (3 photos)

In a nutshell, humanity, as always, is doomed to extinction, even with this plan.





World-renowned British scientists were joined by British geologists from the British Antarctic Survey and professors from the University of Houston. They explored the Thwaites in West Antarctica, which is a huge glacier the size of Florida. In scientific and pseudo-scientific circles, it is affectionately called the “Doomsday” glacier, hinting at what will happen if it melts.



And this handsome man began to melt back in the 40s of the last century. Well, you know, ozone holes, global warming and all that. The Pine Island Glacier is not far behind. In short, the catch is that these glaciers, unlike others, do not recover even with snowfalls and frosts. Well, that's how capricious they are.

“If both glaciers are retreating at the same time, this is further evidence that something is indeed forcing them,” Dr. Wellner said in a press release.

This failure to recover indicates a long-term shift in the glacier's interaction with its environment. Each year, melting glaciers add enormous amounts of water to the oceans. But scientists are most concerned about the possibility of the entire glacier collapsing.

If it collapses, then the rest of the glaciers in this region will also become unstable and melt even faster. Sea levels will rise and inundate low-lying areas such as coastal cities and entire countries, causing massive population displacement and economic damage.

NASA is proposing a radical plan to combat climate change that involves injecting millions of tons of ice into the atmosphere to cool the planet. A plan as reliable as a Swiss watch.

This method will involve the use of high-altitude aircraft that will fly at an altitude of more than 17.5 km above the surface of the planet. Airplanes will spray ice particles into the upper atmosphere. The ice particles are predicted to freeze the water vapor, which then falls back to earth, removing excess water vapor and dehydrating the stratosphere, where the water turns into a heat-trapping gas.
