In this scenario, we aren’t trapped in the dome. There are openings and doors, so we can get out, cycle in fresh air, etc.
Is this a viable solution to way to avoid the effects of climate change? Would it be cooler in the dome? Would there be any negative repercussions? Would clouds form inside the dome? Could it rain in the dome? Would the rain be more toxic than usual because car fumes wouldn’t dilute as well? Could outside lightning break the dome if it got struck? Would there be a single point in the dome that the sunlight would be directed to that everyone would just have to avoid, else they just burst into flame?
Sorry but I have so many questions about this. Apparently there was a show about the situation, but all I remember is that it wasn’t very good. Hank from Breaking Bad was in it.
You’ve heard of the greenhouse effect right? And how it’s named after greenhouses? You know what a greenhouse is? A glass building.
Those domes would be like ovens inside.
A Dyson sphere is a sphere surrounding a star to capture all the solar energy of that star. People live on the inside of the sphere.
So instead of letting all our methane and CO2 escape into our atmosphere, you want to check notes create a bubble filled with farts and car emissions that can never escape?
Technically speaking this would make it easier to filter and cleanse the (concentrated) bad air inside the dome. It’s not feasible for a bunch of other reasons, but this one we at least have the technology to handle right now. Maybe not at the volume needed but that’s a different issue too.
Ever fry an ant under a magnifying glass? That.
Theoretically, this could stop global warming. Because we would all be dead.
Pretty sure this would make things worse. The dome would block out the jet stream making any rain minimal, and, even if tinted, the dome might actually focus the sun’s energy on the city.
