Humanity is struggling with global warming, but so far it has not been stopped. The Earth's temperature may soon reach a rise of up to 2.8 degrees Celsius per year, but with a new technological process, if we inject diamond dust into the air, it will increase by up to 1.6 degrees Celsius and can reduce Global temperature.
A recent research paper published in Geophysical Research Letters He studies Accordingly, if we release approximately 5 million tons of diamond particles into the atmosphere, it will be possible to reduce the global temperature of the Earth. Geological engineers developed a 3D climate model, with which they were able to determine the most effective materials for reducing temperature.
The model is programmed to take into account various factors, such as each material's ability to absorb or reflect heat. It turns out that sulfur dioxide is the worst option, and diamonds are the best. During the 45 years simulated, diamond aerosols proved best at reflecting solar radiation.
This all sounds good, but there's a big problem with diamonds: they're very expensive. According to one estimate, it is 5 million tons of diamond particles per year would cost approximately $200 trillion. According to the latest World Bank data, the GDP of the entire world reached $105.44 trillion in 2023. Based on all this, diamonds do not seem like a very good option.
