Quick answers

What is cloud brightening?

Cloud brightening is a proposed geoengineering technique that aims to increase the reflectivity of clouds to reflect more sunlight back into space, thereby cooling the Earth's surface.

What is a Super El Niño?

A Super El Niño is an unusually strong and prolonged El Niño event, characterized by significantly warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.

What are the potential risks of geoengineering?

The potential risks of geoengineering include unintended consequences such as disruptions to global weather patterns, ecological impacts, and the possibility of triggering further climate changes.

The brief
