As various institutions and individual groups embark on pilot testing of geoengineering concepts, the NOAA strives to bolster its surveillance of these potentially risky projects, which aim to "hack" the climate.
The NOAA is deploying large balloon "sentries" equipped to detect aerosol levels in the stratosphere, helping the agency track any geoengineering activities that might be underway.
While numerous countries have pledged against solar geoengineering, the risk remains that some may pursue this untested technology secretly, highlighting the need for oversight.
Experts express concerns that solar geoengineering could cause destructive weather patterns and exacerbate existing climate inequalities, benefitting some nations at the expense of others.
