Climate Change is one of the biggest threats that the planet is facing. Parts of our world could become inhabitable and millions could become displaced. Researchers and scientists have been analyzing data on how to stop climate change.
While the international community has been putting regulations into effect to help slow the pace of climate change, scientist are still unsure if it will be enough to completely stop or reverse the threat of mass devastation.
But there may be still hope, a group of international scholars have outlined a plan that if successful will be able to reverse global warming and reverse climate change. The scholars plan to construct an arctic preservation dome that will be funded jointly by the United States, European Union and China.
Much like the iron dome used by Israel to deflect missile attacks. The arctic preservation dome will deflect the sun’s harmful rays which have become more intense due to CO2 emission in the atmosphere.
The arctic dome will utilize geomagnetic pulses that will be generated from the center of the arctic. If successful scientist believe the magnetic barrier will serve as a shield to the arctic and will protect it from further cataclysm.
While still in the early planning stages, scientist agree that this may be the only hope the earth has for a sustainable future, since regulations are limited and not all countries are doing their part. Have a great April Fools Day!

Hello, This is such an excellent article,
So if an island nation is submerged beneath the ocean, does it maintain its membership in the United Nations? Who is responsible for the citizens? Do they travel on its passport? Who claims and enforces offshore mineral and fishing rights in waters around a submerged nation? International law currently has no answers to such questions.
United Nations Ambassador Phillip Muller of the Marshall Islands said there is no sense of urgency to find not only those answers, but also to address the causes of climate change, which many believe to be responsible for rising ocean levels.
“Even if we reach a legal agreement sometime soon, which I don’t think we will, the major players are not in the process,” Muller said.
Those players, the participants said, include industrial nations such as the United States and China that emit the most carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases. Many climate scientists say those gases are responsible for global warming. Mary-Elena Carr of Columbia University’s Earth Institute said what is now an annual sea level rise of a few millimeters will increase dramatically by the year 2100. “The biggest challenge is to preserve their nationality without a territory,” said Bogumil Terminski from the University of Geneva. International legal experts are discovering climate change law, and the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is a case in point: The Polynesian archipelago is doomed to disappear beneath the ocean. Now lawyers are asking what sort of rights citizens have when their homeland no longer exists.
t present, however, there appear to be at least three possibilities that could advance the international debate about ‘climate refugee’ protections and fill existing gaps in international law.
The first option is to revise the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees to include climate (or environmental) refugees and to offer legal protections similar to those for refugees fleeing political persecution. A second, more ambitious option is to negotiate a completely new convention, one that would try to guarantee specific rights and protections to climate or environmental ‘refugees`.
