As global temperatures are projected to exceed the critical threshold of 1.5°C, the scientific community is intensifying its exploration of innovative geoengineering solutions aimed at cooling the planet. In anticipation of 2025, researchers are planning several ambitious projects focused on enhancing sunlight reflection from clouds and experimenting with ocean chemistry to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
While these geoengineering initiatives present potential pathways to mitigate climate change, they are not without controversy. Critics argue that such approaches may divert attention from essential measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, raising concerns about reliance on technological fixes in the face of pressing environmental challenges.
