Islands in the Sun
| Division: | Génie et sciences de l'informatique / Aucun | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Frontenac, Lennox & Addington | | Ville: | Kingston, ON | | École: | Calvin Park P.S. | | Sommaire: | This project shows that it is economically feasible and environmentally acceptable to forestall global warming by manufacturing Mylar-reflective-film-covered, polystyrene-foam islands and floating them in the tropical oceans, between the 15° and 35° latitudes in both hemispheres, to reflect back into space some of the sun’s in-coming radiant energy. Total required ocean surface coverage would be as little as two-thirds the size of Vancouver Island. |
