US EditionUK scientists aim to dim sunlight to fight climate change: Report
- The U.K. plans to invest £50 million in geoengineering trials to reflect sunlight away from Earth, as reported by The U.K. Telegraph.
- Methods include stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening, overseen by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency.
- Professor Mark Symes stated that physical data from real-world experiments is necessary to inform the debate on these technologies.
- Critics warn that such geoengineering efforts could have catastrophic effects, particularly on food production, as noted by Rutgers University researchers.

Researchers study using planes to cool the earth amidst global warming
Existing aircraft could help cool the planet by releasing reflective particles into the atmosphere, a new study from University College London suggests. Researchers say the approach, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, could slow global warming without the need for specially designed planes
Injecting particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight 13 km above the polar regions could significantly cool the planet. Boeing 777F planes could reach this altitude.
How Commercial Jets Could Soon Be Used To Cool Off Our Planet
The same planes delivering online orders today could one day deliver cargo to fight global warming. New research from University College London reveals that ordinary commercial jets could be repurposed to inject particles into the atmosphere to fight climate change. The post How Commercial Jets Could Soon Be Used To Cool Off Our Planet appeared first on Study Finds.
Scientists in Great Britain propose the use of Boeing 777F for aerosol stratospheric injections.
