What If We Could Cool the Planet Before It’s Too Late?

We’re losing over a trillion tons of ice each year. Species are vanishing. Extreme weather is already destabilizing lives across the globe. Active Assist is pioneering a real, science-backed intervention not to save the planet, but to protect everything we love about living on it. This isn’t a warning. It’s already happening.

Glaciers are melting at record speeds. Since 1994, over 28 trillion tons of ice have disappeared, accelerating sea level rise, disrupting ocean currents, and altering entire climate systems. The result is droughts, floods, heatwaves, and fires that are becoming deadlier and more frequent, threatening homes, food systems, and lives. At the same time, we’re facing the sixth mass extinction, with up to one million species at risk, not centuries from now, but within decades. The balance of nature is collapsing, and with it, the stability of human life as we know it.

The Hope: Active Assist

Active Assist is an advanced planetary cooling initiative created by a team of experts deeply committed to slowing the damage. This isn’t science fiction. It’s a rigorously designed, scalable approach built to give Earth time to heal. We’re not waiting for governments to act. We’re inviting people who care.

Creators, media, and everyday changemakers to help spread the word. Because the more people know, the faster we can move. And time is running out.

The Technology: A New Way to Cool the Planet

Our technology is non-invasive, meaning it doesn’t interfere with ecosystems or ground-level life. It is scalable and responsive, designed to activate quickly and be adjusted in real time. This is not a replacement for emissions cuts, but it is a lifeline, a way to slow the burn while deeper, long-term solutions catch up.

If we wait for politics to solve this, we’ll run out of planet before we run out of time.

Why Time Is Everything

Climate change isn’t a distant threat; it’s a present emergency. Every year we delay action, the damage multiplies. Over 1.2 trillion tons of ice are melting annually. Species are vanishing at unprecedented rates. Extreme weather is pushing millions from their homes, and global food and water systems are destabilizing. We are approaching climate tipping points, moments where change becomes irreversible. If we pass them, no amount of innovation, activism, or money will reverse the impact.

That’s why Active Assist can’t wait. This technology is designed to slow the crisis now, giving nature and society the time they need to catch up. Awareness is critical. The faster people understand this, the faster we can implement it. We’re calling on creators, journalists, scientists, and communities to help spread the word because every month matters, and every voice counts.

The Science Behind the Technology

We need to warm the lower and middle regions of the stratosphere. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the stratosphere by 1°C is approximately 9.18 × 10²⁰ joules. The first known use of the technology was in 1849 with thermopiles, devices that convert heat into electricity using the thermoelectric effect. Thermopiles are made of multiple thermocouples arranged in series, generating electricity from temperature differences via the Seebeck effect.

The material used is graphene, discovered in 1962 and structurally perfected by 1986. Graphene is a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon, incredibly strong, lightweight, flexible, and an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. One gram can cover 2630 square meters. These properties make it ideal for thermal management, electronics, and large-scale energy applications.

Deployment and Logistics

To protect Greenland’s melt zones (~80,000 km²), 74 cooling mechanisms would rotate daily, covering 4 square kilometers each. Antarctica’s 500,000 km² melt zone would need 463 mechanisms. Total deployment: 537 mechanisms, costing $8.78 billion for construction and $23.7 million per 10-year operation per thermopile. Drones, such as Griff Aviation 300s, will keep structures moving, requiring 16 heavy-lift drones per mechanism and support drones for battery swaps, costing over $2 billion.

Fans will maintain proper stratosphere layers, costing $13.7 billion over ten years. In comparison, Hurricane Katrina disaster relief cost $190 billion. Cooling glaciers by 15°C and raising lower stratosphere temperatures by 2°C within nine months can stabilize global temperatures, slow melting, and reduce future disaster costs.

Energy Production & Sustainability

Each thermopile produces 500 kW, enough for six small cities. This energy can be used for Bitcoin mining with ASIC miners, potentially generating hundreds of millions annually, and offsetting operational costs. Internet connectivity in remote regions like Antarctica could be supported via Starlink, powered by the thermopiles themselves.

Research, Governance, and Global Cooperation

Deployment requires rigorous testing, global research collaboration, and pilot projects to ensure effectiveness and safety. Scientific consensus, governance frameworks, legal regulations on geoengineering, environmental impact assessments, and ethical considerations must all be established. Political negotiations will address climate justice, industrial transitions, and multilateral cooperation. Deployment must be phased, with continuous monitoring and adaptation.

Making It Happen

This project is achievable with the right people: innovators, engineers, communicators, legal experts, and fundraisers. Production of graphene will take time, but materials could be optimized for cost. Presentations and public engagement will help spread awareness, attract support, and inspire participation. Active Assist is designed to give the planet a chance to recover, protect ecosystems, and stabilize the climate, turning cutting-edge science into actionable planetary defense.
