Could Moon Dust Help Reduce Global Temperatures?

The impacts of climate change continue to mount on human civilization, with warning signs that worse times are yet to come. Despite the scientific community raising an early warning as …read more Continue reading Could Moon Dust Help Reduce Global Temperatures?

“Relatively low cost” plan would cool the Earth’s poles by 2 °C

New research suggests that cooling the poles by 2 °C (3.6 °F), and re-freezing the Arctic and Antarctic, is “feasible at relatively low cost with conventional technologies,” using Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) of heat-reflective particles focus… Continue reading “Relatively low cost” plan would cool the Earth’s poles by 2 °C

Blocking Out The Sun: Viable Climate Countermeasure Or Absolute Madness?

If there’s one thing humans hate, it’s exercising willpower. Whether its abstaining from unhealthy foods, going to bed early, or using less energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we’re famously …read more Continue reading Blocking Out The Sun: Viable Climate Countermeasure Or Absolute Madness?

MIT study explores how solar geoengineering would alter the climate

One of the proposed ways to counter the effects of global warming is by using atmospheric aerosols to reflect heat away from the Earth, and a great deal of research is going into not just how this might work, but whether or not it is a good idea. A new… Continue reading MIT study explores how solar geoengineering would alter the climate

Shipping emissions may be cooling the planet by modifying clouds

The idea of intervening in global warming by creating artificial clouds that are whiter and brighter, and therefore reflect more solar energy back into space and cool the planet, is one some scientists are giving plenty of consideration. A new study ha… Continue reading Shipping emissions may be cooling the planet by modifying clouds

The US Opposed a UN Plan to Study Geoengineering to Combat Climate Change

A proposal to study the risks and current state of geoengineering technologies failed to materialize at a UN assembly this week. Continue reading The US Opposed a UN Plan to Study Geoengineering to Combat Climate Change
