The sun could be the answer to all of our climate problems

The sun could be the answer to all of our climate problems: Solar geo-engineering is the process of injecting sulfate aerosols into the high atmosphere to dim the sun’s rays — essentially replicating a huge volcanic eruption in our skies. The technology could mitigate some of the worst effects of climate change, according to a research paper co-authored by a team of climate scientists. The research indicates that the technique could potentially cut the dangers of climate change in half, the Atlantic reports. While critics say that an excessively rosy outlook could discourage society from making much-needed emissions cuts, the paper’s authors argue that the technology deserves further research to assess its potential.
