Global warming has been one of the most important factors that have impacted the climatic conditions across various parts of the world. Be it the melting of glaciers, depletion of ozone layers, the rising concentration of harmful gases in the atmosphere, and subsequent cutting down of trees, several factors have directly or indirectly impacted life on earth.
While the use of renewable energy resources and planting more trees using eco-friendly products to save the environment are now being promoted, these are going on at a very minuscule level as compared to the massive impact of the above conditions on climate.
Now scientists have come up with a proposition to solve this problem. According to a few scientists, moon dust should be transported regularly to a particular gravity point that is located between the Sun and the Earth. They believe that it will help cut down on the impact of global warming on the earth.
Scientists around the world have been dabbling with the idea of filtering solar radiation for decades so that Earth can be saved from overheating. Earlier they suggested many options including using reflective white clouds to putting huge space-based screens.
However, none of these ideas seem to have been able to materialize which has further driven the researchers towards desperation for finding a solution to the global warming situation.
Earth's temperature has risen by almost 2 degrees Celsius in the last century and all it will take is blocking 1 or 2 percent of the rays of the Sun to bring it down. But things have not worked positively in this direction.
Now a team of astronomers at the University of Utah has come up with the idea of using the moon dust as a solar shield.
During their research, these astronomers found that enveloping the gravity spot between the Sun and Earth with lunar dust successfully blocked a lot of sunlight. Importantly, only a little amount of mass was required to get this result.
