Scientists at Harvard and MIT think geo-engineering by injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere could help cool the Earth without severe impacts on most of the regions of the world. But the research is still very preliminary, Meanwhile the world continues to move toward disaster with few concerned enough to take meaningful action.
Two scientists say geo-engineering projects could stabilize melting glaciers for up to 1,000 years — provided carbon emissions are significantly reduced as well.
Many people think humanity will be able to “science its way out” of a climate catastrophe. Actually, the cure could be worse than the disease.
Spray gigatons of seawater into the air, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, and let Mother Nature do the rest, suggests inventor Ron Acer in a 2007 patent petition for “a colossal refrigeration system with a 100,000-fold performance multiplier.”
