More than ten years, scientists have been looking for solutions to the problem of change climate. They believe that the fall of an asteroid to Earth will stop global warming process.
Researchers drew attention to the reason 470 million years ago, an ice age began on our planet. The asteroid that fell to Earth led to the formation of a huge dust clouds that blocked the sunlight, leading to global lowering the temperature.
Scientists believe, if you use this effect, then this way you can cool our planet. To such a radical step scientists are ready to go if humanity does not reduce dioxide emissions carbon to the atmosphere. Leader of this study Birger Schmitz believes that dust rising into the atmosphere in the past cooled The earth.
Among many other options, scientists suggest using medium-sized asteroids in low Earth orbit, so that little by little emitted dust into the atmosphere, partially blocking sunlight.
Fallen millions of years ago, an asteroid led to the release of a huge the amount of sulfur in the atmosphere, acid precipitation and death Living creatures. Let’s hope that such a scenario never will become real in the fight against global warming.
