Warming can’t be averted artificially
Mimicking Cooling Effects Of Volcanic Eruptions Will Lead To Climate Chaos: Study A controversial proposal to cool the planet artificially by injecting tiny reflective particles into the upper atmosphere which block out sunlight would cause droughts and climate chaos in the poorest countries of the world, a study has found. One of the plans to “geoengineer” the global climate would in effect create another climate catastrophe, according to a computer model of the plan.
