Geo-engineering is defined as a “large-scale intervention in the earth’s climatic system with the aim of reducing global warming”. (1)
There are two components to climate control. The first is a removal of carbon dioxide within the atmosphere, which many scientists believe is building too rapidly and creating a “greenhouse effect”.
Other scientists believe the climate change and the greenhouse effect are both natural occurrence and processes. These scientists believe that these two events are widely misunderstood.
The second component is known as “solar radiation management”. This is a method designed to offset greenhouse gases by reducing the earth’s absorption of solar radiation.
In order to do this, it’s been hypothesized that an atmospheric shield can be created through cloud-seeding methodologies that introduce elements into the atmosphere that create a type of radiation shield.
The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change discussed possible geo-engineering as a solution to increased CO2 by ocean fertilization that would remove CO2 “directly from the atmosphere” or to block sunlight by “bringing material into the upper atmosphere” but concluded that these processes “remain largely speculative and unproven, and with the Read more…
