Putting aerosols in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight could prevent the shutdown of key ocean currents, but only if it is done soon, a computer model suggests

Geoengineering Can Prevent Climate Tipping Points, But Delays Will Compromise Its Effectiveness

Incorporating sunlight-reflecting particles into the atmosphere may help mitigate climate change Alexnako/Shutterstock Continuing to emit carbon dioxide poses significant threats, including the risk of triggering tipping points that can lead to major disruptions such as the shutdown of critical ocean currents. Current modeling indicates that injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight could mitigate [...] The post Geoengineering…
