How to reduce global warming with giant explosions on the moon

In recent years, crazy ideas about how to reduce the impact of solar heating have appeared. For example, let’s constantly release sulfur aerosols into the atmosphere. We will get sulfuric acid rain, but the main thing is to reduce the amount of solar radiation!

We could also plant forests with hundreds of thousands of artificial trees to absorb carbon dioxide. We don’t know what we’re going to do with it after that, because we don’t really have viable solutions to get rid of carbon, but we’re going to work on it, the main thing is to get it out of the atmosphere. We can cover Greenland with a giant white blanket that reflects solar radiation.

We could send an armada of mini space shuttles into Earth’s equatorial orbit and absorb some of that radiation, artificially trigger a few Earth volcanoes, or genetically modify cows to eat garlic, reducing cattle herds by 25%.

There would be many more valuable ideas, but, you understand, you have to want it. That’s the problem. In this regard, a team of researchers from the University of Utah, USA, offers us an excellent solution. Accordingly, why don’t we throw some moon dust into space, sir? This will do wonders for the health of the planet.

For that, we just need a lunar base (we’re working on that), some huge devices to collect moon dust (we can handle that too), and then other devices to catapult the dust into outer space (via bombs or space rockets). we don’t have enough?) to the point where the gravitational force of the Earth and the Sun is in balance, the so-called Lagrange point.

Once there, the dust will act like an umbrella, billions of photons won’t be able to reach Earth to mess around, and the ozone layer won’t be affected as much as if we sent the dust too close to us. We could also build a space platform there at the Lagrange point to help us distribute the dust evenly. Also, the dust won’t stay there forever, so we can reuse it whenever we want and when we think it’s getting too hot.

The study of this lunar dust umbrella was published in the journal PLOS Climate. As I said, there is a solution. It is important to understand that trillions of euros will be found there, in an instant, it will not be a problem.

The European Union is officially to blame for the global disappearance of frogs

Only in the period 2010-2019, the amount of frog legs imported into the EU reached about 40.7 million kilograms. In short, about 2 billion frogs were killed to pamper the Europeans. What Europeans? Especially the French, because they are the biggest consumers. But we are not ashamed of the Belgians either, because they import the most, to be resold in France.

When this business started to explode in the 1970s, many underdeveloped countries said that Europe had put their hands in their heads and that they would be making money selling frogs that they had nothing to do with anyway. It didn’t work, because only 10 years later India and Bangladesh, for example, were forced to ban the export of frogs. Frog populations plummeted, and the consequences were quickly apparent.

Albanians, Turks, and many others who did not care about frogs felt the same way. You didn’t have to be a genius to know that frogs also play a role in the ecosystem. In particular, eating harmful insects. Without frogs, we have to resort to pesticides. You’ve resorted to pesticides, you’ve polluted the ecosystem and it’s caused a negative domino effect if your mind has stopped. Not to mention that, among many others, the pesticides end up in the frogs that Europeans are going to eat.

Finally, make it even softer with frog legs! Leave the whims, because you are doing it for the benefit of the planet! Otherwise, when those people told you to eat vermin instead of frogs, you wrinkled your nose.

Cod has not disappeared in Swedish waters, but it is also bad

For more than ten years, the Swedes announced that officially the cod had almost disappeared from the area of ​​the Swedish coast, that not a single specimen of bream could be found anymore. Look at the other desperate people who ate everything around them without thinking about the consequences!

But that would be good news. A few experts from the University of Gothenburg picked up some fishing nets and set out to check the coastal areas to see if they could come across any more adult cod. No, but instead they found a few young individuals, which is comforting.

In addition, genetic analysis of the fry showed that until recently, the Swedes were harvesting not one, as they thought, but two types of cod. This is really good information in case they ever have to repopulate the code area.

The fact is that the adult specimens have disappeared. But since the brood exists, the only logical conclusion is that the fish put their fins in it as a fishing business and migrated to other, quieter areas where they wouldn’t be bothered by the Swedes. where No one knows yet, and that’s the beauty of information.
