Using nothing but physics, Indian engineer Sonam Wangchuk is creating giant âice stupasâ in the Tibetan plateau to counteract the effects of climate change.
Climate change is man-made. We are not talking about the non-deliberate changes that ignite the current debate, a consequence of global C02 emissions, but about real "synthetic climates" and artificial ones which, on the contrary, could create favorable conditions for cultivation and other human act...

We need to integrate ancient building technology into modern infrastructure construction. Some ancient structures worldwide are still standing, defying time and nature.
As climate change makes weather harder to predict, most infrastructure will need to be retrofitted or redesigned and rebuilt with future climate resilience in mind.
Our climate future Millions marching the streets, daily articles in every newspaper and a biodiversity agreement in Montreal: the topic of climate change is on all our minds. The problem: We only have a decade to act. If carbon emissions remain unabated (IPCC scenario RCP 4.5), the Earth is expected... Read more
Climate-controlled cities can offer an excellent solution against the growing climate crisis, which is projected to have extreme effects on urban areas in the coming years.

In an influential cli-fi novel, a desperate government ignores international consensus and pumps aerosols into the atmosphere to cool the world. Could it happen for real?
Space mirrors were once considered a way to direct sunshine towards Earth’s darker regions. Today, scientists are rekindling the concept as one of the more
Careful what you wish for. the Netherlands are just over the water and you wouldn’t want to live there. Unless an easy bicycle ride is what you are after.
Why are Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg known as the Low Countries?
Answer (1 of 4): Because they are globally Europe’s flattest part. And also because that region always had a problem with naming… Altitude Belgium is naturally very flat, but the Netherlands beats it, since one third of the territory is man made and below the sea level, all protected by a uniqu....

The Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, operational since early 2018, is starting to return high resolution maps of air polluting gases that are invisible to the human eye. Amongst the first images released by mission scientists were plumes of nitrogen dioxide flowing from power plants as well as traf... Read more
ESKOM WE FOUND YOU – WATCH YOUR BACK “The world’s biggest hotspot over the three month period is Mpumalanga in South Africa, home to a cluster of a dozen coal fired power plants with a total capacity of over 32 gigawatts owned and operated by Eskom.”

Galactic climate police would be great – satellites are likely one of the best ideas man has had since primitive tools – hence the reference in 2001 space odessey.
New Satellite Video Shows China Pollution Vanishing During COVID-19 Lockdown—Then Coming Back
The European Space Agency released a new video this weekend that shows air pollution vanishing over China as the country goes into COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown, then returning as business resumes.
I really like the sound of these guys – Climate Trace: “We exist to make meaningful climate action faster and easier by mobilizing the global tech community—harnessing satellites, artificial intelligence, and collective expertise.”
Trump make space force so it can attack those that report climate change. but the tide is turning. Satellites are the answer only if we can enforce the rules we all make together.
Satellites to monitor air pollution generated by every power station on Earth
It is almost officially the summertime, which means one thing for those who live on the Atlantic coast of the United States: It's hurricane season. The time of the year where weekend barbecues and trips to the beach that you've been planning for…
Like it, Hurricane Bezoz or Gates for example. But it reminded me of this I saw recently. Silly names…. which wouldn’t catch on because its a bit insensitive to the vicitms.
They should do this already. For Atlantic hurricanes, there is a list of male and female names which are used on a six-year rotation. It could be updated to include names of benefactors that want to help for a bit of recognition.
Fake news propaganda sites like the UK’s daily mail have been called out for this, however most readers don’t realise the rag is financed in order to spread their fake agenda. Google should use its AI to identify these sites and warn us before we visit. Good idea indeed.

Well, this may no longer be necessary in the Sahara, The area is turning green due to climate change.
Check out this organization that is spreading garbage soil in deserts, making it possible to grow plants in these arid areas.

We could also try planting artificial trees in deserts, like China’s Great Green Wall, which could ultimately transform the desert climate.
Check out these artificial glaciers that are transforming desert vegetation in India.

UAE (which is mostly arid with vast desert lands) has also been using cloud seeding technology to create artificial rainfall
Saudi Arabia has done this! They are using artificial climate to grow food in the desert.
We need to integrate ancient building technology into modern infrastructure construction. Some ancient structures worldwide are still standing, defying time and nature.
Why do we spend so much time and money rebuilding infrastructure when these damages can be avoided and the funds diverted to more urgent causes?
We need more climate-resilient structures now than ever as severe weather caused by climate change continues to intensify.
Even without total climate control, we can make cities and urban areas more climate-resilient.
Dubai was planning to build the world’s first climate-controlled indoor city. Unfortunately, construction for the project is yet to begin.
Climate-controlled cities can offer an excellent solution against the growing climate crisis, which is projected to have extreme effects on urban areas in the coming years.
Saudi Arabia is also considering a futuristic city in the desert with a design that maintains an ideal climate all year round.

(6 upvotes)This sounds like the plot of a Sci-Fi movie that goes horribly wrong.
We could also use space mirrors to direct sunlight to dark and cold regions on Earth.
Space mirrors can help cool the earth, averting a climate crisis, or at the very least, buy us enough time to fix the mess.

the mountains are there so you can trancend the clouds. get over it.
Germany shamed by European Space Agency and other satellites. The future is orange, so is the air.

Someone make this idea real. Even the beeb admits it is swayed by false information and then goes ahead and spreads the BS.
