Geoengineering: Calculating the Aftermath!



Studies and more studies have proved that bringing climate change by purposive manipulation through Geoengineering is useless. In fact, it is making the climatic conditions go worse!
What's happening?


Eversince the industrial revolution took place, a noticeable rise in CO2 levels has been observed and it is causing the sea levels to rise. Over and above that, the geoengineers and the climatologists are suggesting ruinous methods to curb the climate change through 'Geoengineering.'

Effectively ineffective:

Various scientists and critics have questioned the effectiveness of Geoengineering methodologies. These methods include fertilization of the ocean so that the marine life consumes the excessive CO2, propulsion of aerosols in the atmosphere so that the sun's rays are reflected back into the space and so on. Some scientists concluded that even if different methods of Geoengineering are combined, it will not be able to stop the earth's temperature to rise by 3 degrees till the year 2100.
Andreas Oschlies, the earth system modeler of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research from Germany said that “Even if one applies the most tried and tested climate engineering methods; the results will never reach up to the expectations.”

Deforestation through Afforestation:

One of the strategies to be applied by the Geoengineers is known as 'Afforestation'. As a part of it, the desserts in Australia and North Africa will be irrigated to grow vegetation so that the CO2 is absorbed by the plants.



But they might not be aware that the vegetation will also take in the sunlight that is reflected into the space by the desserts. What will be the aftermath of that?

Ocean Outburst:

Another strategy, known as 'Artificial Ocean Upwelling' involves the usage of long pipes for pumping cold waters of the sea upwards so that the temperature of ocean water goes down and stimulates the growth of photosynthetic organisms.

These organisms can breathe carbon dioxide by minimizing carbon emissions. However, if at any point of time this process is stopped, it will bring the original temperatures back and cause what we can call 'ocean outburst'!

The Aftermath:

The above Geoengineering techniques can cause severe, very severe side effects! The SRM technique, also known as Solar Radiation Management technique can alter the natural phenomena like rainfall as well as snowfall by causing harm to our Eco-systems.
If you are not aware what Geoengineering is causing to us, visit various websites and read what experts feel about the same.
