I am glad to tell you that the effect of slowing down the melting of glaciers is very obvious. Reduce ablation by one meter within two months. Why should the Chinese Academy of Sciences cover glaciers with quilts to slow down the melting rate of glaciers?

First of all, let's look at the harm it brings to us: melting glaciers will lead to rising sea levels and the death of some low-altitude vegetation. All kinds of animals and plants in the ecosystem are interrelated, and the increase of rainfall will lead to more soil erosion and the disorder of marine ecosystem. The biggest harm to us is the decrease of biodiversity and the changeable weather system. In fact, we also have many measures to slow down the melting of glaciers, and controlling carbon dioxide emissions is one of them.

But at present, the main breakthrough is to cover glaciers with geotextiles. It is hard for us to imagine how arduous the work is. First of all, let's not talk about how big the geotextile area is, how to carry it and how to cover it accurately. Just a glacier like a mountain is daunting. The Chinese Academy of Sciences did cover the glacier with geotextile, and the experimental results were very satisfactory, which gave a solution to the problem that the world was worried about. Even though this method may not be applicable to all glaciers, it is a milestone for us to solve this problem. It can also be extended to many places that can be implemented to solve local problems.

There are always many people who think that people should not interfere with nature, but should let nature take its course. But in fact, many technologies serve nature, so that we can get along with nature better. Zhongke invented this method to slow down the melting rate of glaciers, indirectly save biodiversity and make human life better. It is a worldwide problem to slow down the melting of glaciers. China's quilt method is successful, and I believe many countries will try to imitate it. I am glad that China is in the forefront of the world in many aspects, and we should remember that it is the Chinese Academy of Sciences that covers glaciers with quilts to slow down the melting of glaciers, and the experimental results are very satisfactory.
