In an effort to cool the atmosphere, Harvard University will inject aerosols 12 miles into the atmosphere, leading the charge on the largest geoengineering study to ever take place. The first two “small-scale” dispersals will consist of water and calcium carbonate—two naturally occurring aerosols that regulate Earth’s radiation balance. The idea is to mimic a […]

Its bleak conclusion, echoing that reached by many independent scientists, is that the chances are “highly uncertain.” “Novel means,” in this context, […]
