Geoengineering to Address Climate Change
Research suggests a controversial method of stratospheric dehydration by seeding moist air with cloud-forming particles to mitigate rising global temperatures. This approach aims to cool the planet by preventing excess moisture, a significant greenhouse gas, from reaching the stratosphere. Despite potential modest benefits, uncertainties remain regarding the wider impact on the global climate system.
