Here’s a Way to Cool the Planet without Merely Reducing Emissions
Solar geoengineering could increase the reflectivity of the Earth's atmosphere
The last time the atmosphere held as much carbon dioxide as it does today was about three million years ago, a time when sea levels were 10–30 meters higher than they are now.
Climate models have long struggled to duplicate those large fluctuations in sea levels — until now. Indeed, for the first time, a high-quality model of Antarctic ice and climate has been able to simulate these large swings. That is smart science, but it brings devastating news....
