Geoengineering Revisited
Scientific investigation is always advised, but experience suggests some caution in the application of geoengineering of our planet
Upon Further Reflection
Polar scientists estimate that the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by mid-century.
Carbonyl Sulfide
If [carbonyl sulfide shows that] photosynthesis has increased, that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, potentially mitigating climate change.
Reflections from the Forest
When forests cover the landscape, they increase the absorption of incoming sunlight
