A new study found that not all geoengineering ideas are created equal. Brightening marine clouds over the eastern Pacific could dramatically weaken the El Niño cycle, triggering major changes to global weather patterns, while stratospheric aerosol injection left the system largely unchanged.
Researchers say the results are a reminder that efforts to cool the planet could produce unexpected consequences if they are deployed without a full understanding of how Earth’s climate works…
