Climate change is creating impacts that are widespread and severe — and in many cases irreversible — for individuals, communities, economies, and ecosystems around the world. 2020 was one of the three ...

Geoengineering, involving large-scale interventions in Earth's systems, is being explored as a climate change solution. Methods are divided into carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation ...

Despite the skeptics, climate change is real and is already having an impact on the globe. Most countries recognize this, and at least agree on the urgency of the situation. In fact, some climate ...

A hard look at geoengineering to fight climate change reveals global risks, researchers report. With CO2 emissions continuing unabated, an increasing number of policymakers, scientists, and ...

Blotting out the sun might not fix climate change, but it could pause the warming process. The idea of using planes to “geoengineer” the climate by spreading sunlight-reflecting aerosols throughout ...

What good are governments if they keep fumbling the global climate response? This month, the Trump administration repealed the US EPA’s Endangerment Finding, which designated carbon dioxide as a ...

On the basis of current carbon emissions rates and climate policies, average global temperatures are projected to increase to 2.9°C above preindustrial averages by the end of the century. Such an ...

Geoengineering could protect the Amazon rainforest from climate change, new research shows. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) aims to artificially cool Earth by increasing the reflection of ...

On April 22, The Guardian reported that the United Kingdom’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency is set to launch a series of outdoor experiments using “solar radiation management,” or SRM, to ...

Two of the world’s most eminent polar scientists, Julie Brigham-Grette and Rob DeConto, both from the College of Natural Sciences's Department of Earth, Geographic and Climate Sciences, are co-authors ...

The top scientist for the Geneva-based United Nations Environmental Programme said the organization is exploring the topic of climate engineering because “growing concerns about the lack of global ...
