A study reports that scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere -- a theoretical form of climate engineering known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection' -- has potential to slow rapid ...

It’s an idea straight out of science fiction – 'blocking the sun' to cool the atmosphere and curb or even reverse climate change. But research has shown that the hugely controversial idea of solar ...

Geoengineering, or large-scale manipulation of the climate by humans, has spawned sci-fi treatments aplenty, from supervillains trying to control the weather for their own ends to vivid imaginings of ...

Buzz is growing around proposals to use pollution to slow climate change. Here are 4 reasons this is a terrible idea. Buzz is growing around proposals to use pollution to slow climate change. Here are ...

Holy sun-repellant spray, Batman! Could injecting billions of kilograms of sunlight-dimming aerosols into the atmosphere save the planet from industrial climate destruction? Or is that just ...

The geoengineering scheme, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would not be cheap, but scientists say it could buy us some time until we reach net-zero carbon. When you purchase through links on ...

Geoengineering does little to defuse most of the risks that really matter for people – and it runs the risk of making some harms worse ...

As global temperatures rise, extreme weather is forcing families from their homes. Floods, hurricanes and melting glaciers are displacing communities across the planet. Some scientists are researching ...

Researchers compared net ice accumulation in Antarctica for multiple stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) scenarios and a moderate emissions scenario with no SAI to historical levels between ...
