i. Geoengineering to Stop Global Warming 
  • Copy a Volcano
  • Scientists think mimicking a volcanic eruption could cool the planet. Volcanoes release sulfur dioxide, which forms droplets that scatter sunlight. 
  • By injecting sulfur into the atmosphere, they aim to create a similar cooling effect without the harmful side effects.
  • Shoot Mirrors Into Space
  • Geoengineers plan to launch a giant mirror into space, strategically positioning it between Earth and the sun to deflect sunlight, potentially reversing the impacts of climate change.
  • Seed the Sea with Iron
  • Iron could be the key to combating global warming. Adding iron to the ocean stimulates phytoplankton growth. 
  • These tiny organisms absorb carbon during photosynthesis, and when they die, the carbon sinks to the ocean floor, reducing atmospheric carbon.
  • Whiten the Clouds with Wind-Powered Ships
  • Similar to the reflective effect observed during volcanic eruptions, cloud tops possess the ability to reflect solar radiation.
  •  Researchers propose a straightforward solution: employ wind-powered ships to disperse seawater into the atmosphere. 
  • This process aims to enhance the reflective properties of clouds, resulting in increased sunlight reflection and potential cooling of the Earth. 
  • Build Fake Trees 
  • An “artificial tree” captures carbon from the air. Panels, like a filter, react with carbon dioxide to form a solid. 
  • After exposure to steam, the solid releases captured carbon as liquid CO2. This technology aims to pull carbon from the atmosphere for various uses, including greenhouse horticulture, dry ice production, and developing eco-friendly plastic and concrete products.
