Drip, Drip, Drip.
That's the sound the ice is making at the North and South Poles of our planet.
It seems the temperature of the earth has been increasing the last 15 years.
Global warming as it is called.
Of course as the ice melts, the levels of our oceans rises.
The threat is becoming very real that most of the land mass on our planet will be covered in a very short time by our oceans.
To make matters worse there are more volcanoes active now then in our past.
When volcanoes erupted, they cause havoc with the Earth's atmosphere.
Also, the lava destroys many lives and much property before it gives the Earth new land mass.
These two problems, considered separately, seem to be unfixable.
However, taken together, one solves the problem posed by the other.
The active volcanoes give off tremendous amounts of heat.
If ocean water were pumped up to them then as the water made contact with the molten lava, two things would happen.
First, the temperature of molten lava would decrease.
Last, the temperature of the molten lava would convert the ocean water into steam.
The steam would rise up into the Earth's atmosphere, instead of the heat of the molten lava.
The steam would provide ozone, through addition chemical reactions, provide a barrier against more heat coming into the Earth, lower the overall temperature of the Earth, and provide water in the form of rain to (hopefully) those areas of the Earth which are dry and barren.
The only question is - who will build the pumps and pipelines to the active volcanoes? © Copyright 2006 Daniel Joseph Goodman Questions? Comments! xGoodmanx@excite.
