Saving the
Glaciers
Click Here is another idea on how to stop global warming. I was
watching these guys talk about putting white insulation sheets on all of the
glaciers. Those guys are nit wits. The cost of the project would bankrupt
the world. The amount of fuel used to bring all of those blankets to all of the
glaciers and then putting them on the glaciers, would put so much CO2 in the air that it
would be counter productive and actually increase global warming. On
top of that, what will we do with years and years of blankets on top of the
glaciers! Click Here's my brain storm. Snow making machines. As soon as
the outside air temperature drops below freezing, water nozzles would come
on like a lawn's sprinkler system. Spraying the water into the air would
make ice droplets which would fall on the tops of the glaciers.
The water could come from the glaciers own runoff
and then replenish the glacier with fresh water from it's own melt.
Furthermore, the increased runoff would not be lowering the salinity of the
oceans and would not be increasing the sea level.
This system could be used on the tundra also with a huge
network of water pipes and sprinklers driven by wind power. This would cover the tundra in a
huge ice sheet, and the stronger the wind, the wider the range of the
sprinklers coverage.I have thought of this for quite a while and it would
produce the most natural type of covering allowing the wildlife to live in
their most natural habitat.
Cooling the
Arctic Ocean
But recently, I've been thinking of another use for high
pressure sprinkler systems. There is a strong ocean current coming through
the Bearing Straights. This water has both energy to drive pumps
and warm water that heats the Arctic Ocean. The energy in the movement
of the water is good, but the warm water from the Pacific Ocean flowing into
the Arctic Ocean is not a good thing.
One program that I watched talked about using ships to
bring water from the ocean depths, spraying it into the air being used to
cool hurricanes in the tropical regions. Another program that I
watched talked about making a bridge across the Bearing Straights to join
North America and Russia. These two ideas can be used for another
purpose that would be a huge benefit to the global warming of effort and a
way to cool down the Arctic Ocean.
Combining the ideas of shooting ocean water into the
air and building the bridge can make a huge reduction in the Arctic Ocean
temperatures.
Click Here's the idea. Build the pilings for the
bridge, immediately, and use them for platforms for huge sprinkler systems.
This way the preliminary construction of the bridge will be in place and we
would have a place to hold the power generation stations and house the
sprinkler systems in the meantime.
On cold days, the sprinkler system would turn on
spraying the warm water into the air, sucking the cold out of the atmosphere
and dropping the temperature of the water
flowing into the arctic ocean helping the early formation of Arctic Ocean
ice.
Saving the Arctic Ocean Coastlines
This same technique can also be used on the
Arctic Ocean coastlines. Costal villages are experiencing erosion up to
thirty meters a year. These spraying machines can take salt water and spray
it back over the ocean raining down in the form of ice. This will lower of
the ocean's temperature around the costal areas increasing the formation of
ice along the shore lines. Just think of the Polar Bear. They will now have a habitat
to live in. The seals would have their habitat restored and the
coastal erosion would be back into its natural condition. How do you like that,
a simple use of wave power, tidal power and ocean currents can be used to
supply the entire ice regeneration system.
Instead of putting a Band-Aid on the problem we need to
duplicate natures methods as closely as we can so we do not add additional
problems to our environment that we will have to contend with in the future.
The cold air has very little thermal inertia so when
the spring comes, it warms very quickly. But if we can pull the cold out of
the air all winter, we can store the thermal inertia in a thick coat of
highly heat reflective white snow and ice. The sprayer grid can be much less costly
than the mats, add a natural covering and be ecologically friendly.
And there's one more thing about the mats. The mats will starve all of the
animals that rely on the glaciers ecology, plus, what do we do with the mats when they
need to be removed. The mats will cause huge problems with yearly use,
they would kill the animal populations that depend on them and we would end
up with layer after layer of a petroleum manufactured mat.
