Recent research published in the journal Earth's Future suggests that solar radiation management, a strategy for cooling the planet, could be feasible using current commercial airplanes. Previously, experts believed specialized aircraft would be necessary, which could take years to develop. While this finding opens new possibilities, it remains controversial, and researchers emphasize the need for thorough investigation and caution regarding the risks involved. Experts underline that solar geoengineering should not replace emissions reductions as a fundamental response to climate change.
'We need to know more, we need to do more research,' said lead study author Alistair Duffey, cautioning the potential risks and uncertainties of solar geoengineering.
Despite its controversies, solar geoengineering is gaining attention as scientists explore its feasibility for addressing climate change amid rising global temperatures.
