US EditionUK scientists aim to dim sunlight to fight climate change: Report
- UK scientists may soon start experimental methods to dim sunlight aimed at fighting global warming, with £56.8 million set aside for projects like injecting aerosols into the atmosphere.
- The Advanced Research and Invention Agency plans to conduct controlled experiments to explore cooling techniques within weeks, as reported by The Telegraph.
- Concerns arise over potential conspiracy theories and health impacts, yet Professor Mark Symes insists that these techniques would have minor daily effects on most individuals.
- While the project aims to buy time for decarbonization, it could also lead to disastrous weather changes, as noted by Professor Mark Symes.

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.
Geoengineering technique could cool planet using existing aircraft
A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, according to a new modeling study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
