Sprinkle diamond dust across Earth to cool the temperature? Don't laugh, it's possible
Diamond dust could reflect sunlight and cool Earth. However, the cost is $200 trillion, making it unlikely to be a near-term solution.
Scientists Devise A $200 Trillion Diamond Dust Earth Umbrella To Fight Climate Change
The model includes injecting about 5 million tons of synthetic diamond dust into the atmosphere each year to cool the Earth by around 1.6 degrees Celsius.
Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming?
The results surprised them: diamond dust emerged as one of the best candidates. It reflects more light and heat than other materials and doesn't carry the same environmental risks as sulphur dioxide. Since diamonds are chemically inert, they are less likely to cause issues like acid rain.
A Diamond Solution to Climate Change? Scientists Explore Using Diamond Dust to Cool Earth
As climate change accelerates and the planet heats up, researchers are exploring radical new solutions to cool Earth. Among the latest proposals is the idea of injecting diamond dust into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight,
Could injecting diamond dust into the atmosphere help cool the planet?
A multi-institutional team of climatologists, meteorologists and Earth scientists has found evidence that dropping diamond dust from an airplane into the atmosphere could cool the planet. In their study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters,
Spraying diamond dust to cool Earth: What a new study proposes, despite ‘geoengineering’ concerns
Such geo-engineering solutions have long been under study, but have never been tried. With insufficient progress in combating global warming, they are increasingly being considered.
Injecting Diamonds Into The Sky Could Cool The Planet, Study Says
Heist movies are seldom about solving climate change, and for a good reason. Nobody wants to hear a voice murmur from the back seat as George Clooney tears down the highway with a dump-truck full of stolen diamonds, "Hey, let's crush these sparkle-puppies into powder and scatter them through the stratosphere to cool the planet."
Diamonds Will Solve Global Warming? Scientists Say Injecting It In Atmosphere May Cool Earth
According to the study, injecting 5 million tons of synthetic diamond dust into the atmosphere each year could cool the planet by as much as 1.6 degrees Celsius over the next 45 years. This cooling effect could help mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more intense storms, and disruptions to ecosystems.
Diamonds in the sky can solve global warming problem, find Swiss scientists
Calcite, aluminum, silicon carbide, anatase, and rutile did not tackle the problem as well as diamonds did in the experimental setup.
Scientists want to fight global warming using millions of tonnes of diamonds
Scientists believe they may have found a unique way to slow down global warming, but it comes at a significant cost. The researchers from the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich,
Diamonds in the Sky: Scientists want to inject diamonds into our atmosphere to cool the planet!
Scientists propose using synthetic diamond dust to reflect sunlight and reduce global temperatures. Here's how much it might cost.
