Those approaches to climate engineering aren’t likely to be effective or practical in slowing global warming.
A new report by professors from UCLA and five other universities concludes that there’s no way around it: We have to cut down the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere.”
On the plus side, it’s good to have clarity in the ‘what can we do?’ debate; on the down side, we need to do a lot more of it.
