Giant Parachutes Deployed in Controversial Geoengineering Effort to Stabilize Gulf Stream Amid Climate Crisis
Scientists Propose Towing Giant Parachutes to Save Critical Ocean Current As climate change accelerates, experts warn the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—a vital ocean current that drives the Gulf Stream and warms Europe—is at risk of collapse. Researchers suggest an unconventional fix: using ships to tow massive underwater parachutes to manually power the current and […]
Solar Dimming: A Bold Geoengineering Strategy to Cool Earth Using Existing Aircraft
Dimming the Sun: A Controversial Climate Solution (Approx. 600 words) Could dimming the sun help combat climate change? Scientists are exploring stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), a geoengineering technique that mimics volcanic eruptions by releasing reflective particles into the atmosphere to block sunlight. Recent research suggests this could be achieved using existing aircraft, sparking both hope […]
