How does dust help with global warming? Our planet's temperature depends heavily on dust
Lighter mineral dust will scatter solar radiation in random directions, diverting heat from Earth's surface, keeping it cooler. Jul 22, 2022 Element removed

NYTIMES Should We Block the Sun to Counter Climate Change?
5 days ago — Once a taboo idea thought too dangerous to research, geoengineering is becoming more mainstream
Last month, a two-person start-up company by the name of Make Sunsets claimed that it had launched weather balloons filled with reflective sulfur particles into the sky somewhere over the coast of Baja California. More provocation than experiment, the launch was a first-of-its-kind field test of a climate intervention known as geoengineering: a branch of speculative technology that promises to counteract and even reverse global warming by altering Earth’s atmosphere.google

One simple graph shows why we need to study ways of reflecting sunlight to cool the Earth

KEY POINTS For the first time, the quadrennial U.N.-backed Montreal Protocol assessment report included an entire chapter addressing stratospheric aerosol injection, more colloquially called solar geoengineering.
It's a way to cool the atmosphere by injecting sunlight-reflecting particles, similar to what happens naturally with volcanic eruptions.
A simple concept graph included in the report visually represents the way in which solar geoengineering ought to be thought of — as a temporary stopgap measure.
