Scientists Propose Gigantic Floating Curtain to Prevent Glacial Melt and Slow Sea Level Rise
The ocean is rising. Some of the latest estimates say that by 2100, sea levels could rise by as much as five feet. And by 2300, as much as 30 feet. Bid farewell to all your low-tide surf spots and prepare for the new norm of mushy, high-tide groveling. However, some scientists – glaciologists to be exact – think they might have a solution to reduce the rate of sea level rise, and, of course, save surfing wonders like Pipeline and J-Bay. They’ve hypothesized that a strategically placed curtain in front of a glacier could do the trick.
