- Study: Geoengineering, other technologies won’t solve climate woes Fri, 12 Oct 18, 6:45amSolutions such as geoengineering will not make enough of a difference. By Steinar Brandslet The countries of the world still need to cut their carbon dioxide emissions to reach the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. Relying...
- Claim: Climate Geo-engineering Might Exacerbate Malaria Sun, 30 Sep 18, 2:35pmGuest essay by Eric Worrall Geo-engineering is worse than we thought. Not only would geo-engineering depress crop yields by starving plants of sunlight, it now looks likely any serious attempt to geo-engineer the climate...
- Proposal: Geo-engineered glacier control to limit sea level rise Fri, 21 Sep 18, 6:28amFrom the European Geosciences Union and the “we can stop that glacier in its tracks, cold. Trust us.” department comes this wacky geoengineering idea. I think these folks don’t understand what the scope...
- Climate Geoengineering Oops: Injecting Sulphates Into the Stratosphere To Reflect Sunlight Would Starve Crops of Sunlight Thu, 9 Aug 18, 7:41pmGuest essay by Eric Worrall I guess we should be grateful that this time someone noticed the problems BEFORE creating another climate policy driven global food shortage...
- 6 ways that scientists are hacking the planet Tue, 29 May 18, 6:00amLife on planet Earth is struggling through an historically challenging era, thanks in no small part to the actions of our species. Some scientists have proposed labeling this period as the Anthropocene epoch due to the outsize...
- Latest nutty Geoengineering idea: Salt the atmosphere Wed, 11 Apr 18, 2:17pmAn idea so bad, even Michael Mann realizes it’s a stinker. Sprinkling large amounts of salt into the atmosphere could stave off climate change, a group of researchers has proposed. They’ve suggested that, because...
- Developing nations want to dim the sun using a giant chemical sunshade Fri, 6 Apr 18, 12:56amScientists around the world want to create a giant sunshade in the sky to help reverse climate change. "Solar engineering" involves spraying tiny reflective particles into the atmosphere to cool the Earth by reflecting and...
- Scientists have a plan to cool the Earth with a sprinkle of salt Fri, 23 Mar 18, 2:35amCould salt help soothe our climate woes? Senior scientist Robert Nelson of the Planetary Science Institute seems to think so. At a recent Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas, Nelson suggested that sprinkling salt...

- Geoengineering Lunacy – Sea Walls and Volcano Bases for Polar Geoengineering Mon, 19 Mar 18, 5:03pmGuest essay by Eric Worrall Scientists have proposed pumping brine to refrigerate the bases of glaciers from a nearby volcano lair, and vast Arctic and Antarctic seawalls to prevent warm water from coming into contact with...
- Study: Spreading Crushed Volcanic Rock Would Curb Anthropogenic CO2 Wed, 21 Feb 18, 7:01pmGuest essay by Eric Worrall A new study suggests spreading crushed volcanic rock across the world’s farmland would absorb enough CO2 to curb global warming, so long as a cost effective means to crush all that rock can...
- Claim: Deep Fat Friers Are Cooling the Planet Fri, 24 Nov 17, 3:00pmGuest essay by Eric Worrall According to British researchers, droplets of oil from deep fat friers are measurably contributing to a vast, cooling cloud over big cities, helping to mitigate the damaged caused by global warming;...
- Study: Artificially cooling the planet is a ‘risky strategy’ – may create worse storms Wed, 15 Nov 17, 11:52amFrom the UNIVERSITY OF EXETER Proposals to reduce the effects of global warming by imitating volcanic eruptions could have a devastating effect on global regions prone to either tumultuous storms or prolonged drought, new...
- China is fighting desertification with a Great Green Wall of trees Thu, 31 Aug 17, 10:53pmIn a major geoengineering effort to fight back against ever-encroaching desert, China is planting trees to create a "Great Green Wall" that may halt erosion, capture carbon, and provide economic benefits to the People's Republic...
- Luxury Maine Geoengineering Climate Conference Mon, 14 Aug 17, 1:00amGuest essay by Eric Worrall One hundred scientists gathered late last month in a luxury ski resort in Maine to discuss Geoengineering. To Stop Global Warming, Should Humanity Dim the Sky? The world’s top geoengineering...
