Subject: Astrophysicists want to create space canopy to SAVE Earth
| That’s one eyebrow-raising approach for cooling our planet proposed by a group of astrophysicists in a study published Wednesday in PLOS Climate. The team used computer simulations to model various scenarios where massive quantities of dust (and we mean a lot of dust) in space can reduce the amount of Earthbound sunlight by 1 to 2 percent, or up to about six days of an obscured sun in a year. Their cheapest and most efficient idea is to launch dust from the moon, which would land into orbit between the sun and Earth and create a sunshade. |

| lol....duh........and they are supposed to be the smart ones??...give me a break, we already know volcanic dust and particles cause a cooling affect, maybe an ice age too!!!! |

ya, lets shorten the growing season and throw migrating birds off schedule. needless to say IT DOES NOT A THING TO LOWER CO2. we can shorten summer months and have fall come early and longer winters. shall I go on? splain one thing ! How in heck do you remove it once you put it UP there chumlee? |

The astrophysicists idea of creating some kind of outer space shield or canopy to surround and protect earth isn’t as farfetched or bizarre as it may sound or seem. For at the very least, they acknowledge the fact, that the earth cannot long exist in space…..without a protective shield of some sorts. The issue here of course is just what kind of material should this structure be made of ? The astrophysicists suggest using dust. But what about using…..WATER, that is water vapor droplets being suspended in an exospherical orbit hundreds of miles into space. The earth of course would be a gaseous planet….and uniformly pressurized just like in a high flying plane or spacecraft. A whole new hyperbaric hydrosphere layer would be created with Edenic like conditions free of diseases, storms and extreme weather and solar events. Such an environment with a super ecosystem, enriched oxygen and luxuriant fauna from pole to pole would have enormous astounding health benefits that would be highly conducive for longevity. Today’s scientific journals and papers are beginning to acknowledge that such an ecosystem once prehistorically existed in the Earth. An article excerpt from the posted link is given here: “It seems that another interesting feature of the early earth atmosphere was enhanced oxygen. Microscopic air bubbles trapped in fossilized tree resin were analyzed by Robert Berner of Yale and Gary Landis of the U.S. Geological Survey. The “gas bubbles enclosed in fossil amber may represent ancient air trapped at the time the original resin was exuded from its host tree” thus providing a glimpse into the ancient past (Berner, Landis, “Analysis of Gases in Fossil Amber, American Journal of Science 318:5, 2018, pp. 590-601.) The procedure involved clamping an amber sample “into a vacuum chamber of a quadrupole mass spectrometer, a device that identifies the chemical composition of a substance. As the machine slowly crushed the sample, the microscopic bubbles were released, exhaling up to 100 billion molecules. These breaths disclosed some surprising evidence: the ancient air contained 50 percent more oxygen than the air today.” Landis believes that the subsequent reduction in oxygen could have led to the dinosaur’s demise. (Discover, February, 1988, p. 12.)” |
