How to drive out the excess heat from the equator?
in
If giant sunshades were installed on the roofs of every building in the city, would it help to radiate the excess heat back into space to prevent overheating ?
thanks
Please suggest an alternative.....like an atmospheric dehumidifier.
So how to make it ''not kept''by the atmosphere.
there are two factors here, heat and moisture.
Answer:
A white sunshade would reflect infra-red radiation and that would reduce the heating effect of the sun. What it cannot do is prevent warm air heated up elsewhere, blowing into the area. So the overall effect is small.
How to create high pressure systems in the tropics by increasing the atmospheric pressure?
in
And decrease the high pressure in the polar regions so as to reduce the pressure differences between the two regions , so we get less droughts, more rain at the poles and less floods and cyclones at the equator. So we can reduce the extremities.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Answer:
Jon, when the sun appears between two clouds and you feel its warmth on your face, do you realize how much energy it is giving to the earth and what is needed to change its distribution?
And even if we could, do you realize that each form of life on earth is adapted to its present climate and that, any change in the climate would mean tremendous change in the flora and fauna on earth?
During the cultural revolution, chairman Mao decided that birds eating corn should be killed in order to get better harvests. Many birds were killed and the next harvest was the most disastrous of all because it was destroyed by ... the insects the birds were also eating!

How to walk in winter without getting muddy snow on my pants?
in
So it's winter and it snows a lot here. Sidewalks are cleaned, salted fairly often but there is always some muddy snow on the ground. When I walk, I somehow always get the muddy snow on my jeans around the back of my legs (lower calf areas). I even put my jeans inside my boots. Is there a technique that I have yet to perfect in walking? My friends don't seem to get as much mud on their pants. Please help!
Answer:
Hmm.Sounds like a mess. I remember the slushy streets in NJ. I don't know if there is a special technique. Perhaps you could watch your friends closer.
How to stay cool inside when the humidity is horrible outside?
in
Right now I heard we have around 85% humidity, and the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife! I was wondering how can we stay cool inside? It's stuffy and hot, but not nearly as stuffy as outside. Should I leave the windows open to get a breeze/circulation, or would it just let more humidity in and make it worse? Alo which way are ceiling fans supposed to turn in the summer?
Did I say anything about drugs? Morons!
Answer:
Well, here in Texas everyone pretty much uses air conditioning in the summer. You don't say where you live, but I can't imagine a summer here without a/c. If you don't have one, I think Grace has a good idea with the ice water. I just went and looked at my ceiling fan and it is turning clockwise if you are looking up at it. I know if we open windows here when it's humid, it just seems to make it more uncomfortable inside. But I guess if you don't have a/c, you have to open them. Just get as many fans as you can.
(I have no idea why these people think you asked something about drugs!)
