The text generally talks about global warming and the ideas to reverse it. 
2. Launching giant mirrors and spraying ocean water into the air.
3. Toward the space
4. Carl Sagan, an astronomer and science communicator
5. During the cities covered with dust and smoke
6. Because the incident did not happen as predicted
7. It will cause the worst climate change in human history]]> 2017-09-11 06:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/shazra/rgw/wish/186250530 https://padlet.com/shazra/rgw/wish/186250542 1. To cool down earth's temperature.
2. Launching giant mirrors into space which could reflect some of the sun's energy. By pumping sulfateaerosols into the stratosphere, the sun's radiation could also reflect back.
3. The haze produced by volcanic eruptions reflect the sun's radiation back toward space.
4. Carl Sagan who is known as an astronomer and a science communicator warned about the nuclear winter.
5. The darkening of the world will occur when the dust is tremendously heavy.
6. The scientists decided that the outcome was not any near of their prediction. 
7. Even a small-scale nuclear war would produce climate change unprecedented in recorded human history.

2.  Geoengineering methods can help to cool down the temperature of the earths surface hopefully enough to prevent natural disasters from occurring.
3. Haze produced from volcanic eruptions will reflect the sun radiation back into space.
4. Carl Sagan warned the world of the potential threat of a nuclear winter.
5. The darkening of the earth will happen if a nuclear winter erupts causing enough dust and smoke in the atmosphere to block out the sun.
6. The sceptics began to question the possibility of their theory.

2.create an effect similar to when clouds suddenly block the sun by putting giant mirrors into space  to bounce back sun's energy
3.towards space
4.Carl Sagan (astronomer and science communicator)and team
5.when the forests and cities all covered in flames , enough dust and smoke would be hurled into upper atmosphere.
6.the basic physics would turn out to be correct.
7.it would produce climate change unprecedented in recorde human history as well as the temperatures would belower than during the 'Little ice age', during which famine killed millions.

2) The average surface temperature of earth would be reduced by a few degrees world wide by creating an effect similar to when clouds block the sun. 
3) The sun's radiation will be reflected to space. 
4)Carl Sagan warned about nuclear winter. 
5) Darkening of the earth will occur when dust and smoke are hurled into the upper atmosphere to block out sun. 
6) The scientist took a step back about the claim regarding nuclear winter because the basic physics will turn out to be correct. 
7) The effect of a small scale nuclear war is it would produce climate change unprecedented in recorded human history. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shazra/rgw/wish/186250659 https://padlet.com/shazra/rgw/wish/186250664 1.

2) Geoengineering can create an effect that is quite similar as clouds as they block the sun.

3) The sun's radiation would be reflected into space which is similar to a volcanic eruption.

4) Carl sagan & 4 other scientists warned the world of the dangers of a global cooling known as nuclear winter

5) When the forests and cities is burned due to nuclear fallout, the dust & smoke would be hurled up into space.

6)  Skeptics in the scientific community began to doubt the theory

7) The climate would change dramatically.

2) produce an effect similar to the clouds blocking the sun's rays, reducing the global temperature. 
3) The sun's rays would be reflected back towards space. 
4) Carl Sagan, an astronomer and science communicator. 
5) When the dense smoke and dust from the blazing forests and cities block the sunlight. 
6) Because the doomsday theories made by the scientists were questioned with scientific theories and logic. 
7) It could be worse than the effects mankind has ever faced before as it could affect the climate change greatly. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shazra/rgw/wish/186251452
