Climate change is a highly emotional topic that needs to be researched further. We should also be able to discuss it based on facts before it is too late, writes Roviomaa.
If we want to see that day in tolerable conditions, simply ending fossil emissions will not save the world or my centenary. Other arts may also be needed.
Climate correction refers to all the means used to protect the planet’s climate system from the realization of tipping points. There are at least three types of climate change: removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, limiting solar radiation reaching the earth’s surface, and geoprocessing.
Our descendants hardly care when these irreversible things happened. Rather, they may be interested in who was responsible then and why they didn’t stop it by all means.
Doing so will not solve climate change, but rather buy humanity more time. However, the medicine must not be worse than the disease, say the researchers. The project cannot be carried out colonially. It is up to the Greenlanders whether they want such embankments or not.
Some of the critics of climate change think that climate change would give the opportunity to continue the current destructive way of life. No serious scientist wants to protect fossil fuel dumping, on the contrary.
Without a doubt, there are risks associated with climate change, and these must also be investigated. However, according to the researchers, the biggest risk would be to completely leave climate correction out of the palette of solutions.
In a way, man is on the planet like a tourist who is just visiting. Someone else cleans up the traces of the cosmic wanderings. It is very likely that sooner or later some entity, a larger or smaller state, will do climate correction anyway. I think that it would be in the common interest of the planet that different methods are mapped out in the light of the best possible scientific information.
