Sprayed Aerosols Could Ease Climate Woes(0) It won’t solve global warming, but a group of scientists are calling for a focused research program to investigate ways to seed the atmosphere with chemicals that would let the heat out — literally. Geoengineering is not a new concept. Governments have changed how and where water flows, filled in lakes and other wetlands for construction, even attempted to control the weather. A project to counter climate change, however, would take geoengineering to an entirely new level. Leaving aside what may be insurmountable political, cultural and ethical issues, scientists meeting at the American Geophysical Conference in San Francisco earlier this month focused on the practical aspects of releasing gases into the stratosphere that could open Earth’s greenhouse. Scientists are concerned that Earth is growing increasingly warm due to “greenhouse gases,” such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere that inhibit the planet’s ability to radiation heat into space.
