Briti teadlased hakkavad Maa jahutamiseks pilvi soolaveega piserdama

Scientists at the University of Manchester are investigating a method to enhance the reflectivity of clouds. The underlying concept is straightforward: by increasing the amount of solar radiation that clouds reflect back into outer space, the amount of incoming heat reaching the Earth’s surface could potentially be reduced. The research involves testing a futuristic technology termed “sea cloud brightening.” The objective of this process is to modify natural cloud formations, making them more highly reflective to redirect a portion of the sun’s energy back into the cosmos.

While this geoengineering approach offers a potential means of mitigating the effects of climate change, the proposal has drawn significant scrutiny. Critics caution that focusing on atmospheric manipulation could divert attention and resources away from the fundamental necessity of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The work conducted by the teadlased at the manchesteri institution represents a novel area of climate intervention research.

The focus remains on understanding the physical parameters required to effectively modify pilved (clouds) on a large scale. This technology aims to provide a mechanism for planetary cooling by altering the Earth’s albedo—its measure of reflectivity. Researchers continue to model the potential impacts and risks associated with implementing such large-scale atmospheric interventions.
