This article originally appeared on Undark. In April, in the Bay Area town of Alameda, scientists were making plans to block the sun. Not entirely or permanently, of course: Their experiment included ...

Geoengineering, involving large-scale interventions in Earth's systems, is being explored as a climate change solution. Methods are divided into carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation ...

Blotting out the sun might not fix climate change, but it could pause the warming process. The idea of using planes to “geoengineer” the climate by spreading sunlight-reflecting aerosols throughout ...

Despite the skeptics, climate change is real and is already having an impact on the globe. Most countries recognize this, and at least agree on the urgency of the situation. In fact, some climate ...

What good are governments if they keep fumbling the global climate response? This month, the Trump administration repealed the US EPA’s Endangerment Finding, which designated carbon dioxide as a ...

Geoengineering could protect the Amazon rainforest from climate change, new research shows. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) aims to artificially cool Earth by increasing the reflection of ...

The top scientist for the Geneva-based United Nations Environmental Programme said the organization is exploring the topic of climate engineering because “growing concerns about the lack of global ...
