FA group of university students in England announced a development project to address the problems of global warming. The idea is simple: a balloon drop of nearly 300 meters in diameter that would rise into the stratosphere, allowing a hose about 25 km long played a special reflective substance that would cause the sun's heat was returned to space.
The SPICE project (Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering), as it is called, may sound completely crazy to some, but the team seems confident students. In the information released by the group's website, the idea was based on which to simulate a natural event that can also reflect the sun, volcanic explosions, which cast metal particles in the sky.
Although the project is promising in many respects, there are several tests to be made. According to the team, an experiment on a smaller scale, with a smaller balloon would rise only 1 km, must be done until next month, only to be done in real size, on success.
he group also said that the SPICE project is just a contingency plan, necessary if the government and industry fail to drastically reduce their pollution. The question is whether a chemical used for testing can bring harmful side effects.
Good job, guys, but you need to post the site source. Keep up the nice posts!
