Double Journal Entry #13

After watching and listening to the video, I looked to Google to help me find a solution or rather truth behind what the boy in the video was suggesting. I researched "putting chemicals in the atmosphere to solve global warming." Surely enough a lot of different websites appeared, but the first one that caught my eye was a US News article titled "Could the Solution to Global Warming be More Chemicals?" This is exactly what I wanted to know and from this article I have found out that this is a legitimate solution that is being looked into. I also learned that using geoengineering is not as new or recent as I believed it was. This is something that scientists have been looking at for a long time, and if not for fear of how it may effect the rest of the universe, it would have already been done. The fear that it may create a larger whole in the ozone layer, create uncontrollable weather, and just an overall unpredictable outcome is greater than our need to experiment with this idea. However I think this is something that may one day be the solution that we must try    because to slow down global warming is good, but it is not a true solution. Using chemicals as a way to reverse the suns rays and protect our polar ice caps would be a real solution.
