Study Explores Solar Geoengineering as a Mitigation Strategy for El Niño Effects
A study published in Science Advances proposes using solar geoengineering techniques, specifically marine cloud brightening, to mitigate the impacts of El Niño. The research indicates that reducing sunlight in the Pacific could help moderate extreme weather events associated with El Niño. While the approach is scientifically feasible, it raises concerns about potential unintended consequences and political complexities.
