"Urgent Investigation Needed for Effects of Geoengineering, Experts Warn"

The chief of the US atmospheric science agency, NOAA, emphasizes the urgent need for scientists to investigate the potential impacts of climate geoengineering, including techniques such as ocean seeding and cloud spraying. With a focus on the oceans' ability to sequester CO2 and the potential shutdown of the Gulf Stream ocean currents, NOAA is collaborating with UK scientists to monitor the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Despite political challenges, the agency stresses the non-partisan importance of strong climate science in addressing national and global security concerns, as the effects of the climate crisis are increasingly felt by US citizens.
