Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Discovery Channel brings another reality TV aimed to find a way to stop or slow down the earth's global warming with "Project Earth," premiering Friday.

The show will feature some of the world's leading scientists putting the most ambitious geo-engineering ideas to the test with the intention of seizing global climate change.

Some of the experiments they have done include covering acres of Greenland's glaciers in protective blankets to stop the ice from melting, constructing rockets to send tiny reflective lenses into orbit, and planting thousands of saplings through a mass aerial drop to reforest barren areas.

Members of the experiment group are Kevin O'Leary, the entrepreneur and venture capitalist who can fund the tests; Dr. Jennifer L. Languell, the engineer; and Dr. Basil Singer, the scientist who has a doctorate in astrophysics at 29.

Discovery's "Project Earth" premieres on August 22 at 9 p.m.
