Protect Arctic from ‘dangerous’ climate engineering, scientists warn.

Plans to fight climate change by manipulating the Arctic and Antarctic
environment are dangerous, unlikely to work and could distract from the
need to ditch fossil fuels, dozens of polar scientists have warned. These
polar “geoengineering” techniques aim to cool the planet in unconventional
ways, such as artificially thickening sea-ice or releasing tiny, reflective
particles into the atmosphere. They have gained attention as potential
future tools to combat global warming, alongside cutting carbon emissions.
But more than 40 researchers say they could bring “severe environmental
damage” and urged countries to simply focus on reaching net zero, the only
established way to limit global warming.
