Reflecting Sunlight to Cool the Planet – MIT Investigates Solar Geoengineering Proposals
Solar geoengineering proposals will weaken extratropical storm tracks in both hemispheres, scientists find. How can the world combat the continued rise in global temperatures? How…
Reducing Climate Change Risks With the Right Dose of Geoengineering
Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is the idea that adding a layer of aerosol particles to the upper atmosphere can reduce climate changes caused by greenhouse gases…
Yale Study Shows Geoengineering the Climate Could Have Dangerous Consequences
One of the scientific tools being considered to reduce the impacts of climate change is solar geoengineering, or the injection of aerosols into the atmosphere…
The Unintended Consequences of Geoengineering a Cooler Atmosphere
In a newly published study, scientists from MIT reveal unintended consequences of an idea to stimulate ocean phytoplankton growth in order to geoengineer a cooler…
Controversy Sparked by Ocean Fertilization Project off Canada’s Coast
Last July, a chartered fishing boat strewed 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the ocean, off the western coast of Canada. The goal was to…
Asteroid Dust Could Shield Earth from Harmful Solar Radiation
Scottish scientists have proposed to use a giant space-based dust cloud, blasted off an asteroid, to shade the Earth from the sun. Deliberately manipulating the…
