As global temperatures continue to rise and traditional mitigation efforts struggle to keep pace, the scientific community is increasingly exploring innovative strategies to combat climate change. One such approach gaining attention is solar geoengineering, a set of techniques aimed at reflecting a portion of sunlight back into space to cool the planet. While the idea remains controversial, recent advancements in research, increased funding, and growing policy debates suggest that solar geoengineering may soon become a more prominent aspect of climate discussions.
This article delves into the latest developments, ethical considerations, policy challenges, and industry perspectives surrounding solar geoengineering,
