In an influential cli-fi novel, a desperate government ignores international consensus and pumps aerosols into the atmosphere to cool the world. Could it happen for real?
Space mirrors were once considered a way to direct sunshine towards Earth’s darker regions. Today, scientists are rekindling the concept as one of the more
Careful what you wish for. the Netherlands are just over the water and you wouldn’t want to live there. Unless an easy bicycle ride is what you are after.
Why are Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg known as the Low Countries?
Answer (1 of 4): Because they are globally Europe’s flattest part. And also because that region always had a problem with naming… Altitude Belgium is naturally very flat, but the Netherlands beats it, since one third of the territory is man made and below the sea level, all protected by a uniqu....

The Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, operational since early 2018, is starting to return high resolution maps of air polluting gases that are invisible to the human eye. Amongst the first images released by mission scientists were plumes of nitrogen dioxide flowing from power plants as well as traf... Read more
ESKOM WE FOUND YOU – WATCH YOUR BACK “The world’s biggest hotspot over the three month period is Mpumalanga in South Africa, home to a cluster of a dozen coal fired power plants with a total capacity of over 32 gigawatts owned and operated by Eskom.”
New satellite data analysis reveals world’s biggest NO2 emissions hotspots - Greenpeace International
Galactic climate police would be great – satellites are likely one of the best ideas man has had since primitive tools – hence the reference in 2001 space odessey.
New Satellite Video Shows China Pollution Vanishing During COVID-19 Lockdown—Then Coming Back
The European Space Agency released a new video this weekend that shows air pollution vanishing over China as the country goes into COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown, then returning as business resumes.
I really like the sound of these guys – Climate Trace: “We exist to make meaningful climate action faster and easier by mobilizing the global tech community—harnessing satellites, artificial intelligence, and collective expertise.”
Trump make space force so it can attack those that report climate change. but the tide is turning. Satellites are the answer only if we can enforce the rules we all make together.
Satellites to monitor air pollution generated by every power station on Earth
It is almost officially the summertime, which means one thing for those who live on the Atlantic coast of the United States: It's hurricane season. The time of the year where weekend barbecues and trips to the beach that you've been planning for…
Like it, Hurricane Bezoz or Gates for example. But it reminded me of this I saw recently. Silly names…. which wouldn’t catch on because its a bit insensitive to the vicitms.
They should do this already. For Atlantic hurricanes, there is a list of male and female names which are used on a six-year rotation. It could be updated to include names of benefactors that want to help for a bit of recognition.
Fake news propaganda sites like the UK’s daily mail have been called out for this, however most readers don’t realise the rag is financed in order to spread their fake agenda. Google should use its AI to identify these sites and warn us before we visit. Good idea indeed.

This sounds like the plot of a Sci-Fi movie that goes horribly wrong.
We could also use space mirrors to direct sunlight to dark and cold regions on Earth.
Space mirrors can help cool the earth, averting a climate crisis, or at the very least, buy us enough time to fix the mess.

the mountains are there so you can trancend the clouds. get over it.
Germany shamed by European Space Agency and other satellites. The future is orange, so is the air.

Is “Swirly McWindface” allowed? If so, you got my dollar.

Someone make this idea real. Even the beeb admits it is swayed by false information and then goes ahead and spreads the BS.
