Geo-engineering

Geo-engineering refers to deliberate, large-scale interventions in Earth's natural systems to combat climate change. It includes methods like removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reflecting sunlight away from Earth to reduce global warming. These techniques aim to address the environmental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions when reducing emissions alone may be insufficient. While potentially effective, geo-engineering also involves risks and uncertainties, making it a topic of ongoing scientific research and ethical debate. Its goal is to manage climate change proactively, but it requires careful consideration of potential ecological and societal consequences.
