Can We Refreeze The Arctic?

This Scientist Certainly Thinks So

Thanks to global warming, the ice in the Arctic Ocean is today about half of what it was in the 1980's. And the situation can only get worse. Governments can't agree about how to solve the problem. There is one scientist who is ready with a radical solution – to use modern technology to repair the damage. Harvard University's Professor David Keith has published two papers on the subject. His idea is to inject reflective particles (ввести отражающие частицы) into areas close to the Arctic ice caps, so that less of the sun's heat would be absorbed. So temperatures will be lower and it will help some of the Arctic water to refreeze. The best part is, it could all be done without cutting back greenhouse gases created by people. Why aren't governments all over the world working to give this new idea a try? Because this kind of open air experiments has never happened before. Nobody knows what the side effects will be. It could all work out fine or lead to something totally disastrous like collapsing (разрушение) the remaining ice sheets or, worse, cause a massive drought (засуха). The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity has a permanent ban (запрет) on any human attempt to try to change nature. Even Professor Keith agrees with that. That is why he is just presenting the idea in his research papers. Hopefully, we will be able to avoid these kinds of experimental solutions and stop global warming if we simply change the way we lead our day-to-day lives.

Can We Refreeze The Arctic? This Scientist Certainly Thinks So
Можем ли мы повторно заморозить Арктику? Этот учёный определенно так думает

Thanks to global warming, the ice in the Arctic Ocean is today about half of what it was in the 1980's. And the situation can only get worse. Governments can't agree about how to solve the problem. There is one scientist who is ready with a radical solution — to use modern technology to repair the damage.

Harvard University's Professor David Keith has published two papers on the subject. His idea is to inject reflective particles (ввести отражающие частицы) into areas close to the Arctic ice caps, so that less of the sun's heat would be absorbed. So temperatures will be lower and it will help some of the Arctic water to refreeze. The best part is, it could all be done without cutting back greenhouse gases created by people.

Why aren't governments all over the world working to give this new idea a try? Because this kind of open air experiments has never happened before. Nobody knows what the side effects will be. It could all work out fine or lead to something totally disastrous like collapsing (разрушение) the remaining ice sheets or worse, cause a massive drought (засуха).

Professor Keith agrees with that. That is why he is just presenting the idea in his research papers. Hopefully, we will be able to avoid these kinds of experimental solutions and stop global warming if we simply change the way we lead our day-to-day lives.

Благодаря глобальному потеплению лед в Северном Ледовитом океане сегодня составляет примерно половину того, что было в 1980-х годах. И ситуация может только ухудшиться. Правительства не могут договориться о том, как решить проблему. Есть один учёный, который готов предложить радикальное решение — использовать современные технологии для устранения ущерба.

Профессор Гарвардского университета Дэвид Кейт опубликовал две статьи на эту тему. Его идея состоит в том, чтобы ввести отражающие частицы в области, близкие к арктическим ледяным шапкам, чтобы поглощалось меньше солнечного тепла. Таким образом, температура будет ниже, и это поможет части арктических вод повторно замерзнуть. Самое приятное то, что все это можно сделать без сокращения выбросов парниковых газов, создаваемых людьми.

Почему правительства всего мира не работают над тем, чтобы опробовать эту новую идею? Потому что подобных экспериментов на открытом воздухе еще никогда не было. Никто не знает, какими будут побочные эффекты. Все это может закончиться хорошо или привести к чему-то совершенно катастрофическому, например, разрушению оставшихся ледниковых щитов или, что еще хуже, вызвать массовую засуху.

Профессор Кит согласен с этим. Именно поэтому он просто представляет эту идею в своих исследовательских работах. Будем надеяться, что мы сможем избежать подобных экспериментальных решений и остановить глобальное потепление, если просто изменим образ нашей повседневной жизни.
