Question

State three approaches to addressing the problem of global warming that are either stated or implied in the article. Does the author take a clear position on these? Article: Shading the Earth

Answer 1

Answer:

Global Warming can be reduced by a prospective solution of emitting gases - that reduce sunlight, in specified atmosphere.

Explanation:

Shading Earth is a research publication from Institute of physics. It suggests solutions to combat the issue of global warming (ie rise in average temperature of earth, due to increase in greenhouse gases concentration).

The key primary solution suggested in the study is - to release such gases into stratosphere, which decrease the amount of sunlight reaching earth & hence reduce global warming.

Special aircrafts, guns, rockets & other equipments are considered as alternatives for implementing as mentioned. Their technical, financial feasibility & economic efficiency are also being studied for the same.
