Geoengineering
Geoengineering strives to advance futuristic techniques that manipulate Earth's climate and combat global warming.
Solar Radiation Management
One plan involves putting trillions of tiny reflective lenses into space to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching - and warming - the Earth's surface.
By reflecting light away from the Earth, the …
