Apparently, this approach is now considered one of the first and most effective, even if the White House agrees. In September, we wrote that a group of scientists wanted to refreeze the Earth’s poles by spraying microscopic aerosol chemicals into the atmosphere. However, not all scientists are positive.

Is this a good idea?

As known, White House to formally coordinate five-year research plan To evaluate the feasibility of similar projects. Obviously, the practice of blocking sunlight is associated with great risks to both humans and the environment. But some supporters of the idea think it deserves at least attention, and see the cautious White House interest in it as a positive sign.

This isn’t the first time the US government has paid attention to the idea. In 1965, a similar plan was presented to President Lyndon B. Johnson, costing $500 million a year. Today, the value of such initiatives has reached 10 billion dollars.

Be that as it may, however, such ideas are not considered fundamental in the fight against climate change. The key is to reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions into the atmosphere, which humanity is currently unable to achieve despite all the agreements.
