To avoid sea level rise, some researchers want to build barriers around the world’s most vulnerable glaciers

Over the past few decades, earth scientists have grappled with the concept of solar geoengineering: cooling the rapidly warming planet by injecting particles high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, for example. Now, researchers are proposing a new way to battle the effects of climate change that could prove even more costly and controversial: glacial geoengineering, designed to slow sea level rise.

A white paper, released on 11 July by glaciologists who conducted a series of workshops and town halls over the course of 10 months, calls for boosting research into daring plans that would protect vulnerable ice sheets by building flexible barriers around them or drilling deep into them to slow their slippage into the sea.

But these untested ideas are stirring up a backlash among glaciologists, some of whom view them not only as outlandishly expensive and logistically flawed but also as a distraction from the problem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.....

Paging Lewis Carrol. Absurdity alert. Paging Mary Mapes Dodge. Little Dutch boys and dykes urgently needed.

I was sure until I read the full headline that they wanted to build barriers around the most vulnerable cities, or regions. But noooooo!

Having a high IQ doesn’t immediately make one moral, ethical, honest, or emotionally fit. Many of these so-called scientists are just greedy leaches seeking more handouts for little or nothing but supporting the Globalist’s narrative.

What morons.

Building their wall on our southern border will have a greater effect on global warming.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

These Fake researchers have no idea what glaciers are

Over the past few decades... by injecting particles high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, for example.

Yes, have heard much, and seen much, and felt the results of Aluminum/Barium/Strontium Chemtrails.

Greenies are Ridiculous.

Green now means Scam

Boy I froze a bunch of days in NYC this past winter.

Just an amazing string of no precipitation every time a cold wave hit...save a few.

It got a late start...and it ended late.

It’s so simple. You need to snuff the sun out.

“Walls don’t work”

And what kind of ‘message’ are we sending to our Ice Sheets when we put walls around them, sheets that only want the freedom to float in the sea, yet we force them to stay where they are?

Makes me ashamed to be an American.

I think Biden’s idea of blocking the sun would work better

[17th Miss Regt]

Alternatively, you can fast-track the reparations that are due to persons of color! That will stop the global climate change!

Isn’t the Psychopath Bill gates already doing a ton of crazy things on his own ?

[arthurus]

or even very smart. I don’t think barriers could be built around glaciers that glaciers would not overcome, either breaking them down or overtopping them. Glaciers move because of snow accumulation. They are fluid and slow and extremely powerful. If the glaciers are melting due to AGW then they are retreating and barriers would be silly.

I was thinking of something more along the lines of "bubble wrap" - but I guess "barriers" will do.

Bubble wrap! That’s the ticket!
