After 60 years on the sidelines, technologies that reflect sunlight to cool Earth are gaining serious momentum. Researchers worldwide are now testing and developing solar modification methods once dismissed as science fiction.
Tens of thousands of satellites burning up in our atmosphere are creating an unintended geoengineering experiment that's actually cooling the planet. Scientists say this accidental discovery reveals both promising and concerning insights about climate intervention.
A team in northern Canada just proved we might be able to refreeze melting Arctic ice, thickening test sections by 50cm and keeping them frozen weeks longer. Their simple method using pumped seawater is showing early signs that geoengineering could help save one of Earth's most critical climate systems.
An Israeli company has unveiled the ingredients for tiny particles that could combat global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space. Stardust Solutions says its biodegradable particles, made from simple food-grade materials, could cool Earth's temperature without harming people or nature.
Dutch researchers have identified a bold new option that could help prevent climate catastrophe. A dam across the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska might stabilize the ocean currents that regulate weather across multiple continents.
