Artificial Glaciation: A way out of Global Warming?
In Pakistan, “glacier grafting” is a common practice since the 19th century. This involves carrying ice from naturally occurring glaciers to high altitude areas, where it is put inside caves fashioned out of “scree-slope”. Other ingredients like water, salt etc. are also placed at the same “cave”. They eventually turn into newer glaciers and the snowmelt water obtained from them is invaluable for the farmers in irrigation purposes when natural water is scarce.Midnight Monkey Monitor: Live from Day 1 of National Sustainability Conference
Scientists debate that whether assembled ice masses are really behind higher water flows. Ingvar Tveiten of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences thinks that glaciers would have formed naturally at those locations, while Kenneth Hewitt of Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario believes that the procedure has increased the “ice stock”.
At every environmental conference, people must always ask why are we sitting in an aircon room freezing our butt offFewer Shark Attacks NOT Blamed On Global Warming » Pirate’s Cove — Blimey!
I think they missed the narrative. It used to be that when it was hot, it was global warming, when it was cold, it was weather. Then they changed it to when it is hot, it is global warming, when it is cold, it is because of global warming. So, when shark attacks surge, it is global warming, when they dip, it is because of global warming.Then don’t make a film about cars | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
If they truly loved the planet most, they’d plant their offsets without actually causing the emissions first.
