Global Warming Solution
What we can do as to change, we can do it now, or later as we become more affected by it.
Global warming or cooling is caused buy more or less reflection or absorption of light from the sun. The more light bouncing off of white snow and ice the cooler the effect will be.
The more light absorbed by the dark ocean the warmer the effect will be.
We are losing the reflection of the ice. Let's call it surface area or S.
We are losing so many square miles of reflective surface area in a year. Let's call a year Y.
We could ban all dark roofs and start replacing them with reflective roofs. If it's not enough we may have to reflect light off of the ocean. Let's call that R. for reflection.
We are losing a lot of surface area in a years time lets call it A. for amount.
The solution would be S-RxY=A,AxRS=Amount of offset. So if we could replace and gain the area of reflection lost by melting ice we should be able to stabilize the earth's climate.
What you can do now.
If you have a roof and you want to offset some of the effect of melted ice make it reflective.
Part 2
In my earlier blog on Global Warming I went into cause and effect of the reflective ice melt. I included a formula for stabilizing the climate. Face it we have already started controlling the climate, we just did not know it, and that is why we are in such a mess. I went over offsetting the reflective surfaces of ice loss by having reflective roofs. But what if we had reflective surfaces on all man made structures, roads, car tops, parking lots, superstructures, etc. Think of all the heat now generated just off all our asphalt roads and parking lots.This solution could also reverse an ice age if it was reversed. Of course right now in the snow areas dark roads and roofs benefit from the heat. The benefits of reflective surfaces would be welcomed in the hot areas. Could you imagine getting out of a reflective car in a reflective parking lot in the desert and it actually being comfortable? New eye glasses will have to be developed for the massive reflective areas. Imagine all of Los Angeles's man made structures with reflective surfaces for hundreds of miles. This would work. The experiments I conducted with low cost reflective surface's work well. They will save us a lot of money and energy in cooling and air conditioning. At the same time we can now start to reverse global warming.
