As Earth’s climate continues to deteriorate, scientists are exploring new methods to potentially mitigate climate change. One such method is geoengineering, which involves deliberately manipulating the Earth’s climate to slow or halt global warming. Numerous ideas have been proposed as potential solutions, including stratospheric particle injection (SPI), marine cloud brightening (MCB), space reflectors, desert modification, large-scale direct air capture, and enhanced rooftop reflectivity, among others.
