Report: It’s time for the U.S. to research solar geoengineering

Grist

To avoid the most disastrous sea-level rise, storms, heat waves, and drought, the best available science says that greenhouse gas emissions must be cut in half in the next decade or so and brought to net-zero by the middle of the century. Right now, clouds are one of the least understood factors in climate change research. “We
