Brightening Clouds to Cool the Earth: The Future of Climate Geoengineering

Discover the cutting-edge research behind marine cloud brightening, a revolutionary geoengineering experiment aimed at combating climate change. Scientists at the University of Washington are testing a system that sprays microscopic salt particles into clouds, potentially enhancing their ability to reflect sunlight and cool the planet.

This video delves into the science behind the process, the challenges of achieving the right particle size, and the ethical and environmental questions surrounding such interventions. Can this technology provide a lifeline for a warming Earth, or does it come with risks we don’t yet understand? Learn about the possibilities, controversies, and the future of climate engineering.
