geoengineering

Geoengineering refers to large-scale interventions aimed at counteracting the effects of climate change. It includes techniques like capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or reflecting sunlight away from Earth to cool the planet. These methods seek to modify the environment to mitigate global warming and its impacts. While geoengineering could potentially help address climate issues, it also raises concerns regarding safety, effectiveness, governance, and ethical implications, as unintended consequences could arise from such significant interventions in the Earth's natural systems.
