Scientists Increasingly Calling to Dim the Sun

The idea of "solar geoengineering," or shooting particles into the stratosphere to reduce the warming of the Sun, is no longer science fiction.

I mean, I’ve heard of people floating these ideas for years as a means of combating climate change without having to make the fossil fuel industry make actual changes to their business practices, but the thing I automatically thought of was...

The Promise and Peril of Geoengineering

As we head into a ever warming world, some experts and politicians are embracing a possible solution to climate change called geoengineering. Theoretically geoengineering could slow down climate change, stop it, and maybe even remove carbon from the air. It sounds like…

Geoengineering is a last-ditch option to stall global warming — and it’s getting a first test

Harvard researchers want to see what adding calcium carbonate could do to the stratosphere.

The first phase — a US$3-million test involving two flights of a steerable balloon 20 kilometres above the southwest United States — could launch as early as the first half of 2019. Once in place, the experiment would release small plumes of calcium carbonate, each of around 100 grams, roughly equivalent to the amount found in an average bottle of off-the-shelf antacid. The balloon would then turn around to observe how the particles disperse.

I was thinking about using solar thermal system in combination of nuclear power plant, but apparently there are no new ideas in this world and someone beat me to it.

I think I’d make a good action sports photographer 🪁 Anything is more fun than being an engineer 👨🏽‍💻

The last work trip I went on was to Nashville, TN to take a factory tour of a component supplier. I got to meet my least favorite colleague, but also saw this awesome band. As my physics professor would always say: the universe is highly balanced. ✨
