Geoengineering Gone Wrong? Proposed Climate Solution Could Actually Have Dangerous Side Effects
(scitechdaily.com)
Utah atmospheric scientists reveal that a proposed “geoengineering” strategy to remove a potent greenhouse gas could worsen air quality while offering minimal benefits. As human activities release increasing amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, numerous proposals have emerged...
Scientists have discovered that cooling the planet by injecting sunlight-reflecting particles into the atmosphere could be achieved using existing large aircraft, not requiring expensive new planes. By targeting the polar regions at lower altitudes, this method could offer a faster, albeit less powe...
