An
American scientist David Keith, who is the professor of applied physics at
Harvard University offered solution to global warming when he suggested that
refreezing Arctic using certain modified jets could help in dealing with the
climate crisis. The scientist used climate models for suggesting that by
injecting the reflective particles in atmosphere, there could be a reduced
amount of sunlight which reached the Earth. This in turn could help in tricking
the regional effect which might bring back ice to Arctic.
He
claimed that penetration of sunlight could be reduced by merely 0.5 percent for
restoring the sea-ice surrounding North Pole. The research conducted by the
scientist suggested that this entire operation was possible to accomplish with
certain modified Gulfstream jets which could cost approximately 8 billion
dollar annually.
It
is important to note that overall amount of the ice in Arctic Ocean had reached
all-time lowest in September 2012. However, while this scientist believed that
action should definitely be taken for dealing with the pollution that was
discharged in the atmosphere, he still doesn’t advocate action which his study
suggested.
