  5. Simulated cooling from geoengineering

    New approach to geoengineering simulations is significant step forward

    Using a sophisticated computer model, scientists have demonstrated for the first time that a new research approach to geoengineering could potentially be used to limit Earth’s warming to a specific target while reducing some of the risks and concerns identified in past studies, including uneven cooling of the globe.
