Researchers around the world want to use geoengineering techniques, such as dimming the sun, in order to fight climate change
Some researchers around the world want to use geoengineering techniques, such as dimming the sun, in order to fight climate change and reduce the warming temperatures. However, there has been a lot of hesitation ever since the plans were announced. A new study, however, sheds light on why we should do it, and how our planet could benefit from slightly blocking the sun’s rays that reach us.
The plans for sun dimming techniques were announced last year, but no further plans have emerged since. The reason for that is the concern that geoengineering and sun dimming could do more harm than good, for example, it could cause precipitation shifts, as well as massive changes in the hurricane season on the American continents.
A new paper published in the journal Nature, suggests that blocking the sun just a tiny bit could be quite beneficial to humanity in our attempt to combat rising temperatures and climate change.
