Geoengineering: Solution based approach to address the drastic climate changes
Geoengineering is a subset of technologies that mitigates the impact of extreme climate fluctuations such as lower global temperature. Geoengineering adopts the engineered methods to modify the climatic changes and lessen the harmful impact of global warming and other weather conditions that can have adverse effects on earth. Through Geoengineering technology, greenhouse gases are removed from the atmosphere, preserving polar ice.
Diverse
approaches of Geoengineering technologies can be used to mitigate sudden
climate changes that include solar radiation management, carbon dioxide
removal, weather modification, or intervention in the planetary ecosystem.
Carbon geoengineering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which can
alter the causes of climate change. This technique of geoengineering
breaks the link from emissions to concentrations.
Solar
radiation management techniques reflect sunlight back into space, and modifying
clouds, plants and ice to reflect more sunlight. Solar radiation
modification (SRM) is a viable approach to counter global warming through
producing ample amounts of sunlight. Ocean fertilization is the effective
method of ocean geoengineering which may lessen the ocean acidification and
global warming. It facilitates the growth of phytoplankton, which convert CO2
into oxygen through photosynthesis. These approaches of geoengineering can
reverse the adverse impact of climate change and save species on earth to
balance nature.
Negative
aspects of geoengineering are squabbled by climate scientists. They voice that
massive energy that is not climate friendly is used in geoengineering. Recent
climate studies criticize the benefits of geoengineering and reveal that it
momentarily lessens the drastic climatic conditions that threaten the natural
environment. Geoengineering methods may have adverse impact on agriculture
production. Basically, this novel technology of dealing with climate
change may offer new challenges to nature.
Final thoughts:
Geoengineering
projects are meant for providing a solution to the climate crisis momentarily
but cannot explore the real cause of environment change. Geoengineering
manipulates climate changes to reduce the GHG effects and combat warming
through numerous techniques.
