Climate Hacking: A Glimpse into a Brave New World The specter of El Niño looms large over global climate forecasts, threatening catastrophic weather events and crippling economic losses.
As researchers warn of this potentially record breaking phenomenon, an intriguing solution has emerged from the realm of geoengineering: marine cloud brightening.
A recent study suggests that targeted aerosol injections could weaken a developing El Niño. This proposal is not new; British cloud physicist John Latham first floated it in 1990 as a means of slowing global warming.
