Solar geoengineering encompasses a range of tactics to cool the planet down by reflecting sunlight, perhaps by artificially brightening clouds or thrusting reflective particles into the atmosphere.

Solar geoengineering—the idea of using technology to reflect a small fraction of incoming sunlight away from Earth to partially offset climate change—poses many problems, ... (MCB) using ...

Scientists proposed a road map for studying solar geoengineering as a potential solution to climate change. ... (MCB). They’ll need to be really careful with any future experiments, ...

Marissa Saenger is a fourth-year PhD student studying climate sciences at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego ...

One idea is marine cloud brightening (MCB), ... It’s undeniable that the world is in a bit of a time crunch, so some scientists are pursuing a Plan B—solar geoengineering.

One controversial proposal is solar geoengineering, ... (MCB). SAI has attracted the most attention as it mimics a volcanic eruption by dispersing man-made aerosols into the atmosphere.

The technologies used for CDR and suggested for solar geoengineering are completely different. But there are similarities in their potential ramifications. In the absence of either, the degree of ...

However, this solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering technique is highly controversial, and experts say governance of MCB field experiments and deployment is needed now at the national ...

Solar geoengineering, whether it be MCB or pumping sunlight-blocking particles straight into the stratosphere, is a tempting option because of how quickly it could cool our planet.
