All ideas sound good to prevent us from committing to an ecological and sustainable transition. Including the injection of diamond dust into our atmosphere.
You’ve probably already heard of them. startStart – and even those scientists – who intend to take steps that will combat anthropogenic global warming. Here the question of our limitation does not arise BroadcastingBroadcasting Greenhouse gases – in everyone’s mind this is the goal, or should be, but the reality is to find solutions to the effects of their presence in our atmosphere. What insiders call geoengineering.
And among the most explored pathways: the injection of aerosols into our atmosphere. Basically, carbon dioxide SulphurSulphur (SO2)). As is naturally emitted during volcanic eruptions. Because scientists studying this problem think they have a good idea of how it could lower the temperature on our Earth.
What is the most effective aerosol for reducing temperature?
Others are more cautious and draw attention to the potentially harmful collateral effects of geoengineering. Injecting sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere can damage the ozone layer, disrupt weather patterns or even cause precipitation. AcidAcid. So the researchers wondered if injecting other aerosols into our atmosphere could bring global temperatures back to more acceptable levels while avoiding at least some of those losses.

The transition to a low-carbon economy will be much cheaper.
According to the researchers, putting 5 million tons of diamond dust into the atmosphere every year for 45 years would reduce the temperature by 1.6 degrees Celsius. Trouble is, it’s going to cost us about $200,000 billion!
The cost of transitioning to a low economy CarbonCarbonit is valued at less than $10,000 billion by the firm McKinsey. There is really nothing to hesitate…
