Artificially cooling the planet (9)
Boban1: Experiment in New Mexico will try to establish the possibility of cooling the planet by dispersing sulphate aerosols
Two Harvard engineers are to spray sun-reflecting chemical particles into the atmosphere to artificially cool the planet, using a balloon flying 80,000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere, using sulphate aerosols to bounce sunlight back to space and decrease the temperature of the Earth.
David Keith, one of the investigators, has argued that solar geoengineering could be an inexpensive method to slow down global warming, but other scientists warn that it could have unpredictable, disastrous consequences for the Earth's weather systems and food supplies. Environmental groups fear that the push to make geoengineering a "plan B" for climate change will undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

There's been a few of these, something about a release of a compound into the oceans to reflect the sun's rays and another theory of a dish in space that would block some sunlight. It's such a responsibility and challenge for Humanity to engineer the biosphere and that's not to mention the resources required to achieved this. I wish I had gone into this field of engineering.
I think it's far more likely that we'll change technology rather than change the way we live so I believe one of these methods will be put into practice in the coming years.

I'm seeing high flying planes followed by bursts becoming an artistic cloud-like pattern across Minnesota skies more frequently lately... beautiful clouds..
Interesting comment to the Guardian news article..
Comment: It's interesting that The Guardian chose the above image to go with this story. Sun halos have been appearing in greater numbers in recent years, possibly due to an increase in ice crystals in our rapidly shrinking and cooling atmosphere. By associating this natural phenomenon with a man-made (well, psychopath-made) project, they are trying to implant in readers' minds the suggestion that the increase of weird (but natural) phenomena in our atmosphere are the result of their kooky scientific experiments. They're not. They're the result of major Earth Changes underway. At least when the Ice Age comes, people will know who to blame.
"Impacts include the potential for further damage to the ozone layer, and disruption of rainfall, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions - potentially threatening the food supplies of billions of people. It will do nothing to decrease levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere or halt ocean acidification. And solar geoengineering is likely to increase the risk of climate-related international conflict - given that the modelling to date shows it poses greater risks to the global south." ~Pat Mooney, executive director of the Canadian-based technology watchdog ETC Group.

Satellite study of Asian mountains show that glaciers are NOT melting - and some are actually gaining new ice
Huge glaciers in the area between Pakistan and China are puzzling scientists - and disproving the doom-laden predictions of some climate experts.
The glaciers in the Karakoram Range between northern Pakistan and western China have actually grown, rather than shrinking. ...

I think humans need to really stop meddling with our planet. It has not worked out so well thus far.
I also don't recall giving my consent for these experiments, and seeing as I too am a resident of Mother Earth, I think it should have been asked.
The biggest question humanity needs to ask itself is, "We have the technology and curiosity, but should we use it?"
Splitting the atom and its consequences for example, I think we would have been better off without it.
And air freshener. Why? Why?

Interesting article Boban thanks!
But
There it goes from our anthropocentric necessity of making this world a better one and humans are the only ones to do it!
Are we making this world a better one?
Can we make it a better one?

Here in the USA are scientists who've classified certain air quality pollutants that are harmful to breathing people. Another group of these gaseous pollutants are those creating the radical left's green-house effects, supposedly responsible for warming the planet.
Another group of airborne pollutants is fugitive particulate; dust, metals etc. Little discussed is there alter ego terrestrial effect on the planet, which is a cooling action. Fugitive particulate reflects sun light. So, all we have to do is relax air quality standards for fugitive particulate and the world is cooler.
