The technologists’ dream of remaking the planet to live with our carbon emissions is here. How do we stop one panicked country from deciding it’s time to press the button? Here... Read more
Geoengineering, an emerging technology aimed at counteracting the effects of human-caused climate change, also has the potential to counteract political polarization over global warming, acc... Read more
THE Republican Party has long resisted action on climate change, but now that much of the electorate wants something done, it needs to find a way out of the hole it has dug for itself. A com... Read more
University of Manchester scientists have identified the most energy-efficient way to make clouds more reflective to the sun in a bid to combat climate change. Marine Cloud Brightening is a r... Read more
Scientific studies of techniques for deliberately modifying the climate are getting ready to move out of the laboratory IN 1990 John Latham, a cloud physicist, published a short article in N... Read more
The deliberate, large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climate system is not a “quick fix” for global warming, according to the findings of the UK’s first publicly f... Read more
The solution to global warming, Olaf Schuiling says, lies beneath our feet. For Dr. Schuiling, a retired geochemist, climate salvation would come in the form of olivine, a green-tinted miner... Read more
As a range of climate change mitigation scenarios are discussed, Univ. of Washington researchers have found that the injection of sulfate particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight an... Read more
Members of the public have a negative view of climate engineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the environment to counteract climate change, according to a new study. The resu... Read more
“In the past five years or so, geoengineering has moved from the realm of quackery to being the subject of scientific research” Hacking the Earth’s climate to counteract global warming – a s... Read more
The geoengineering technique might have some unintended benefits, like more rainfall, but also consequences if ever interrupted Researchers have wondered for years whether we will one day be... Read more
A statement by the U.N.-convened group suggests that tinkering with the atmosphere could be necessary to meet climate goals Attempts to counter global warming by modifying Earth’s atmo... Read more
Harvard, UCLA experts propose new structure for regulation of geoengineering research Geoengineering, the use of human technologies to alter the Earth’s climate system—such as injectin... Read more
Such an experiment would be unusual in the world of climate science Even though it sounds like science fiction, researchers are taking a second look at a controversial idea that uses futuris... Read more
Fertilising the oceans with iron to combat climate change can lock carbon away for centuries, research suggests. Tiny marine plants induced to grow by the iron sink to the ocean floor taking... Read more
