Text: What happens in our planet?

Things are getting unnatural on Planet Earth. Islands are disappearing, Arctic Sea ice is melting faster than the most pessimistic of predictions, and we lose Green Land’s ice sheet a long way before expected. The greenhouse effect is not just happening, it’s accelerating, and it may start running away from us if hasn’t already been stopped. The heart of the problem is simple. Greenhouse gases cause the atmosphere to heat up decreasing the amount of energy that can escape to space. Geo-engineering methods use two ways to balance this process: They either remove the gases from the atmosphere, allowing more radiation to exit, or deflect a section of the sun’s light about 1.8 percent should do the Turk reducing the amount of radiation absorbed by the earth. Simple, isn’t it? Well, it’s a big challenge with some very complicated climatic and ecological systems, and there’s no guarantee that any approach will actually work in real life.
