International Desk: Temperature has increased due to climate change. It disrupts normal life. So 5 million tons of diamond dust could be released into the atmosphere to cool this hot Earth. It will cost 200 million dollars. This is what has emerged in a study. But as absurd as it seems, according to a research paper published in 'Geophysical Research Letters', 500,000 tons of diamond dust per year can reduce the temperature of the world to a great extent!

According to the published research paper, if the shiny diamond powder falls on the sunlight, it will be reflected to a large extent and go out of the atmosphere. As a result, the heat will also decrease. The researchers believe that if this process can continue for more than 45 years, this process could reduce the global temperature by about 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit. But implementing this plan is not as easy as it seems. Some scientists think so. Because the entire process is as costly as it is labor intensive.

According to the researchers, spreading diamond dust for 45 years to reduce the temperature of the earth may have to spend about 200 million dollars. Which is why many people think that spending so much money just based on guesswork and testing is absolutely absurd. However, the researchers argue, this cost is nothing to deal with the alarming pace at which the climate crisis is currently escalating on Earth.

The researchers also believe that all possible experiments should be done to combat climate change, no matter how unrealistic those experiments may seem. According to the paper, the process of spreading diamond dust into the atmosphere is known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection'. The whole topic falls under 'solar geoengineering'. In this process, small particles are dispersed in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

According to the published research paper, the researchers were also researching the effects of diamond dust as well as other aerosols including sulphur. Experiments were being conducted to determine which material would work best in real-world situations. Experiments looked at how well the aerosols reflected sunlight and how long they could stay in the air. In addition, any dust particles that are rapidly coagulation are also checked.

According to the paper, diamond dust showed the best results in preliminary experiments. The diamond particles resisted freezing and were able to float aloft for the longest time, the researchers said. While other aerosols turned into acid rain, diamond dust avoided it. Although sulfur is not a good aerosol in terms of coagulation, it can be a good practical alternative to diamond powder.

Douglas McMartin, an engineer associated with the research, explained that the price of sulfur and the low cost of making its aerosol are also being considered for this material. However, many have disagreed with the use of sulfur due to the behavior of sulfur particles in the atmosphere after volcanic eruptions. Since sulfur is a gas, it will not be as heavy as diamond dust. As a result, it is believed to be easily spread from aircraft into the atmosphere.

However, according to a section of experts, it is necessary to look at the ecological and social impact on the world before conducting such experiments. Various predictions and warnings by scientists and environmentalists about the evils of climate change are not new. In various research reports related to climate, scientists claim that there is a lot of fear. According to them, the only reason for this extreme change in climate is humans and their destruction of nature.
