Marine Cloud Brightening: Significance and Impacts
Marine cloud brightening, a geoengineering technique to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth, holds potential for climate mitigation but poses risks to marine ecosystems and weather patterns.
Significance of Marine Cloud Brightening
- Temperature Regulation: By reflecting more sunlight, MCB aims to reduce global temperatures, potentially counteracting some effects of global warming.
- Delay of Climate Tipping Points: MCB could buy time for society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid reaching critical climate tipping points, such as the melting of polar ice caps.
- Coral Reefs: Cooler ocean temperatures could help protect coral reefs from bleaching events caused by heat stress.
- Polar Regions: MCB could ....
