Scientists proposed the regular transport of moon dust to a gravity point between Earth and Sun to temper the ravages of global warming.

Ideas for filtering solar radiation to keep Earth from overheating have been kicking around for decades.PARIS - Whether out-of-the-box thinking or a sign of desperation, scientists on Wednesday proposed the regular transport of moon dust to a gravity point between Earth and Sun to temper the ravages of global warming.

Blocking one to two percent of the Sun's rays is all it would take to lower Earth's surface by a degree or two Celsius -- roughly the amount it has warmed over the last century. But there are serious potential side effects, including the disruption of rain patterns upon which millions depend for growing food.

Computer simulations showed that putting lunar dust at a gravitational sweet spot between Earth and Sun"blocked out a lot of sunlight with a little amount of mass", said lead author Ben Bromley, a professor of physics at the University of Utah.The scientists tested several scenarios involving different particle properties and quantities in different orbits, looking for the one that would throw the most shade.

"We aren't experts in climate change or rocket science," said co-author Benjamin Bromley, a professor at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics."We were just exploring different kinds of dust on a variety of orbits to see how effective this approach might be," he added."We don't want to miss a game changer for such a critical problem."

Oh please, we have bigger problems in our own country, stop writing this rubbish and concentrate on what the rubbish government is getting up to and gbv etc etc etc.

why is the government not removing weapons from the Streets,people ar being murderdnd yu guys ar not doing anything about it,its like yu promoting black market,Remove weapons from the streets Police should ve walkng arnd nd search for these weapons every household

No, we will not accept Bill Gates plan to block out the sun. You evil demons.

Why writing this rubbish?

if the ball travels to the sun I double promise to be the last man standing

when i say correct , i dont mean cryptocurency , i mean politics.

Remember gravity everywhere is allowing us to have ice ages , do NOT disrupt this rule , they do not correct orbits.

put sudden weight on the poles faster than the planet evolves with gravity balanced by solar system with the other planets? Are you wanting to prove there is a heaven or whats wrong ? Study Venus please , or study the meteor belt.

planets look large , but they whobble and water can move and affect weight distribution of the stability of the spin. That kills faster than the some of all your fears combined Change the heat , you can change ocean currents . Speed up an ice age you destroy us out of orbit.

If i see one moon dust rocket better clear a 222 fast enough before i can get to the trigger click.

Moon dust...
