The Race to Save Melting Glaciers from Climate Change Tencent Global 2023-09-11 | YouTube description Saving glaciers, which are melting at a record pace, is crucial to preserving communities and ecosystems. Scientists are blanketing one glacier with a whisper-thin material that reflects back 96% of the sun’s rays. Their hope? That this experiment will keep a crucial glacier cool and slow the effects of a warming climate. tencent.com/en-us/articles/2201687.html The groundbreaking high-tech sheet, known as CA Film, acts like a natural sunscreen and coolant for glaciers: deflecting sunlight and radiating excess heat back into space. Early results from tests conducted by scientists from Nanjing University at the remote Dagu Glacier in China’s Sichuan province are encouraging—slowing melting by up to four times. This high-tech blanket is an exciting potential short-term solution to a global problem. It’s part of Tencent’s commitment to supporting scientific efforts toward preserving the environment and achieving a carbon-neutral future. #GlacierConservation #ClimateAction #ClimateChange
