There are geoengineering projects aimed at influencing climate change. These are projects that try to reduce or compensate for the problems our planet has with the different effects of climate change.
However, the actions carried out by geoengineering raise questions of an ethical nature, because it has different risks on the planet. Do you want to know what is being done to mitigate the effects of climate change?
Geoengineering
Researchers from all over the world have been experimenting for decades with this type of project that seeks to condition various aspects of the climate at will to cause or prevent rainfall in specific places, manage solar radiation levels or reduce carbon dioxide in the air.
For example, solar geoengineering deals with manage the amount of sunlight entering the atmosphere, in order to control surface warming and reduce global warming. In experimental models the action of geoengineering could reverse the effects of climate change, although it is unknown if in reality it would have an effect.
The planet's climate will change yes or yes, however, it is possible to try to reduce the impacts of this climate change. This technology can benefit many people and minimize harm to others, but also the opposite.
Anyway, geoengineering does not reduce the need to build a cleaner energy system and lead the economy towards an energy transition based on clean renewable energies.
Some projects of this type are available on the market, as evidenced by the fact that in March 2012 the Community of Madrid allocated about 120.000 euros to a project to increase snow precipitation through technologies of "controlled stimulation of clouds" to the German company Radimeter Physics.
Mimic natural processes
Another geoengineering project is to create synthetic trees capable of capture and store CO2 like the real thing, but with greater speed and efficiency. There are also projects that launch microcrystals into space so that solar radiation bounces back to the dumping of iron in the oceans to encourage the growth of microscopic plants that absorb CO2 and drag it to the bottom of the sea.
With this technology we are playing to be God and we should leave it now that we have time, since nature has its own cycles all the time and we do not know what consequences this may have on the climate.
