Anthropogenic climate change has led to sea level rise and increasingly extreme weather events, including droughts, floods, and heatwaves. Climate change threatens oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems ...

President Trump issued a sweeping executive order on Tuesday that will begin to undo a slew of government efforts to fight global warming. Among those worrying and watching to see how the executive ...

A study reports that scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere -- a theoretical form of climate engineering known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection' -- has potential to slow rapid ...

Climate change is gaining prominence as a political and public priority. But many ambitious climate action plans foresee the use of climate engineering technologies whose risks are insufficiently ...

Climate engineering, or climate intervention, is risky but needs to be explored as a supplement – not as a ‘Plan B’ – to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, said experts at the United Nations Climate ...

At this point, the greatest danger of climate engineering may be how little is known about where countries stand on these potentially planet-altering technologies. Who is moving forward? Who is ...

As the Earth inches closer to 2°C of average warming above pre-industrial levels, some scientists aren’t just interested in how to cut emissions. They’re also interested in how to buy the planet more ...

For a couple decades, following along with climate engineering discussions could occasionally induce some déjà vu. The idea of intentionally messing with the climate system in order to counteract some ...

The U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine have recently recommended an expansive federal research effort into climate engineering techniques. These proposed interventions, like ...
