The Why, How, and Maybe Not of Geoengineering

Cars That Think

So based on that, science was proposed in the 90s, maybe you could create a sort of cleaner, more intentional form of this kind of low atmospheric cloud cooling. And so as an engineering task, it’s not nuclear fusion, but it’s not trivial either. Absolutely, but it’s not necessarily cheap and easy to do in an absolute sense.
