      There are many methods for reducing the speed of climate change that are being studied. Scientists have begun to look into taking preventative measures such as reflective mirrors in space, pouring cold water into oceans, and growing plankton  to absorb heat put off by carbon dioxide emissions. The idea behind these techniques is to essentially hold off more harmful effects of climate change until the global economy has cut down on the use of "dirty energy". Although these ideas seem all well and good, some are worried they could make matters worse.
        There are so many methods by which we can attempt to clean up the planet but the most effective is one which includes humans changing the behaviors which are so devastating to the climate.many if the methods suggested, such as planting large forests, may be effective over time but the climate is changing right now and if we do not act quickly enough we will lose beautiful parts of the planet and animals. I am curious as to how mirrors in space will affect other aspects of the solar system. What will the extra sun exposure do to surrounding planets, stars, the moon? The saddening part of this is that even with combined methods to prevent climate change it still may not be enough to counteract human produced contributions not to mention some of the methods are costly and could have side effects that are unknown, as of now. What we need desperately is a deeper motivation to use environmentally friendly energies and resources. Until then our planet will continue to try and compensate for our dirt.
