Would turning the moon into a giant magnet reduce the effects of global warming?

n-no
how would this even be done

Please explain your reasoning behind this

Wouldn't the moon then block some of the radiation coming our way like the earth's magnetosphere already does?

No idea. But this the worst idea I've heard of. We can stop burning coal and fossil fuels to lessen the effects of it. Unless the moon has a strong enough magnetic field to attract some particles towards i dont see how this would be logic or feesable

In addition, it depends on whether the magentic field being hypothesised is N S or a mixture, like a magnetic reversal.

Don't think so. The moon is not constantly between the Earth and the Sun to keep blocking it. Also, the problem is not the radiation that comes, but that it can't leave due to greenhouse gases (which is why they got that name).

>> No.7899070

>>7899044
Wouldn't satellites need to be recalibrated if there was a magnetic field on the moon? It also depends on the gap betweem the curves (not sure on the name). If it is large enough to fuse into ours, it would just create a larger magnetic field to one side (not constant).

>> No.7899095

>>7899070
Sure, but this is all pointless since magnetic field 'blocks' solar wind and solar wind is not the thing that affects climate change. There s a lot more shit coming from the Sun that does though.

>> No.7899105

>>7899032
i wholeheartedly agree with you, and that is quite an accomplishment, considering all the shit-treads on /sci/

OP. Just to ground you a bit.
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. It should therefore be the hottest. Venus is the hottest due to the 'greenhouse' effect.

Now you and your gay petrol head friends can laugh all you like at "duh global warming" but we cannot know when the greenhouse effect starts and becomes irreversible...
