A new AWI study shows that a radical geo-engineering concept could potentially slow sea-ice retreat, but not global warming According to a much-debated geo-engineering approach, both sea-ice... Read more
Finding the right “dose” for solar geoengineering One of the key misconceptions about solar geoengineering — putting aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce g... Read more
Simply reducing greenhouse gas emissions probably is not going to be sufficient for the planet to escape catastrophic damage from climate change, scientists say. Additional actions will be r... Read more
A program to reduce Earth’s heat capture by injecting aerosols into the atmosphere from high-altitude aircraft is possible, but unreasonably costly with current technology, and would b... Read more
Radical solutions to climate change might save lives, but a commentary in the October 2018 issue of the journal Nature Climate Change calls for caution because geoengineering still lacks a... Read more
Proposals to reduce the effects of global warming by imitating volcanic eruptions could have a devastating effect on global regions prone to either tumultuous storms or prolonged drought, ne... Read more
Modeling strategy allows scientists to explore ways to limit warming, reduce side effects Using a sophisticated computer model, scientists have demonstrated for the first time that a new res... Read more
The idea of geoengineering, also known as climate engineering, is very controversial. But as greenhouse gases continue to accumulate in our atmosphere, scientists are beginning to look at po... Read more
Geoengineering is a catch-all term that refers to various theoretical ideas for altering Earth’s energy balance to combat climate change. New research from an international team of atmospher... Read more
The planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases alone is not enough to remove the risk. Last year’s historic Paris climate agreement set the goal o... Read more
