Climate Engineering
Climate engineering, also known as geoengineering, refers to deliberate large-scale interventions aimed at combating climate change. These techniques can be broadly categorized into two types: solar radiation management, which reflects sunlight away from the Earth, and carbon dioxide removal, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
Proponents argue that climate engineering could help mitigate the effects of global warming, while critics raise concerns about potential environmental risks and ethical implications. Ongoing research explores various methods, including stratospheric aerosol injection and ocean fertilization, to assess their feasibility and impact on the planet.
