Scientists at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology, using computer simulations, have found that even geoengineering methods to cool the atmosphere will not save the planet from global warming if carbon dioxide emissions remain at the current level. The effectiveness of the method of saving from catastrophic climate change is described in an article published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Geoengineering involves ejecting large amounts of particulate matter into the stratosphere to reflect the sun’s rays back into space. This has been shown to occur in large volcanic eruptions, although some experts admit that such cooling can have unintended consequences. In addition, this approach can be used as a climate weapon.
Researchers simulated a geoengineering technique to determine if it would work. It turned out that it is really effective, but only to a certain extent, after which it becomes useless. If greenhouse gas emissions are not contained, their content will rise to a level that will affect the formation of stratocumulus clouds, making them thin, and in some cases completely eliminating them. It will not be possible to stop global warming without a cloud cover.
