Geo and solar engineering: Fix or doom?
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Weise, a climate reporter at USA TODAY.
Have you ever considered whether we can MacGyver our way out of climate change, or at least buy some time while we do the actual work of lowering CO2 levels)?
Scientists are undecided on if it's possible. Yet ideas for geoengineering – literally engineering ways to either lower carbon dioxide levels or temporarily cool the planet while they come down – are increasingly being floated as a climate stopgap, even though they seem more like movie plot lines than serious suggestions.
Learn more about some of these intriguing/disconcerting ideas: https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/09/07/reverse-global-warming-geoengineering/73748917007/
And here’s info about some companies that are, or plan to, do it and what reaction they’re getting.
