Asymmetric Response to Global Warming

Abstract

The study aims to develop critical thinking in the context of global warming, analyze existing approaches to solving this problem, and propose alternative methods of combating climate change.

Materials and methods: Scientific literature was analyzed, including IPCC reports and studies on atmospheric physics and climatology. Theoretical research methods included comparative analysis, mathematical calculations, and a systems approach to assessing climate change. Calculations were made on the efficiency of mirrors in reflecting solar energy with an area ratio of 1:10,000.

Results: It is revealed that the existing theory about the dominant influence of CO₂ on global warming requires critical rethinking. It is established that the content of water vapor in the atmosphere exceeds the content of CO₂ by 100 times. An asymmetric method of combating global warming through mirrors is proposed, demonstrating high potential efficiency. A comparative analysis of three main approaches to solving the problem is carried out: "space umbrella", installation of distributed mirrors, and achieving "carbon neutrality".

Conclusions: A comprehensive approach to solving the problem of global warming is needed, including traditional methods of combating CO₂ emissions and innovative solutions. Mirrors are a promising, cost-effective, and reversible method of fighting global warming. Developing critical thinking is key in finding practical solutions to the climate crisis.
