Solar Geoengineering Projects Could Be More Effective on Regional Scale

Yale Environment 360: A new modeling study by several geoengineering experts suggests that injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to block more of the sun's energy and reduce temperatures could be most effective when done on a region-by-region basis. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, said that injecting aerosols over the Arctic Ocean in summer, for example, might be an effective way to not only slow the rapid loss of Arctic sea ice but possibly even restore it to pre-industrial levels. The researchers...
