"Unveiling the Potential of Clouds in Mitigating Global Warming through Solar Geoengineering"

Scientists conducted the first outdoor test in the United States of technology designed to brighten clouds and reflect some of the sun's rays back into space as a way to temporarily cool the overheating planet. The goal is to hold global warming to a relatively safe level, but as carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, the idea of deliberately intervening in climate systems is becoming more realistic. If successful, the next stage would involve attempting to change the composition of clouds above the Earth's oceans.
